title: [Short-term effect of air pollution with sulphur dioxide, black smoke and nitrogen dioxide on mortality of urban Polish population].
abstract: The paper presents results of analysis of short-term effect of atmospheric air pollution with sulphur dioxide (SO2), suspended particles (BS) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) for daily number of death from all causes (without external), from diseases of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and from malignant neoplasms in four Polish cities Kraków, Lódź, Poznań and Wrocław. Analysis was carried out using modern methods of statistical modeling--generalized additive models. Potential confounding factors (long-term changes of mortality, day of week, meteorological conditions, national and summer holidays and periods of influenza epidemics) were taken into account during model building process. Results for every city and from meta-analysis are presented. Statistically significant increase of mortality from all causes was associated with increase in all investigated air pollutants.
