Efecto a corto plazo de la relación de los contaminantes criterio del aire sobre la mortalidad cardiopulmonar, en la localidad de barrios unidos, Bogotá D.C 2009-2014

Abstract

The present work consists of an ecological study of time series in the period between January 2009 and December 2014 for Bogotá in the town of Barrios Unidos and aims at the effect of the relationship of air pollution with cardiopulmonary mortality short term. For this, the information on cardiopulmonary mortality, the criteria pollutants for Bogotá (PM10, PM2.5 CO, SO2, NO2, and O3), temperature values, precipitation and finally relative humidity values obtained from the District Department were used. de Salud (SDS), of the Bogota Air Monitoring and Quality Network (RMCAB) and IDEAM, respectively. Subsequently, a descriptive statistical analysis was carried out, finding that no criterion contaminant is above Resolution 2254 of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS) of 2017 or that established by the World Health Organization (WHO), although it was found that the maximum values exceed both permissible limits. Finally, linear Poisson regression was performed to estimate the relative risk between air pollution and cardiopulmonary mortality through the Stata program 11.0. Due to an increase of 0.01 ppm of CO (average maximum 8 hours), a risk of 0.22% and of 0.18% in the total population and over 65 years of age respectively for mortality due to cardiopulmonary diseases was obtained; However, the risk values are not high, they manage to be statistically significant, checking the relationship between air pollution and mortality from cardiopulmonary diseases.
