Evaluación de los Efectos a Corto Plazo de los Contaminantes Criterio del Aire Sobre la Mortalidad Cardiopulmonar en la Localidad de Fontibón-Bogotá

Abstract

The present work consists of an ecological study of time series with the Poisson regression in the period between June 24, 2008 and June 30, 2014 in Fontibón, whose objective was evaluate the short-term effect of air pollution on cardiopulmonary mortality in population of Fontibón, through a multi-pollutant focus.This was done through the collection and and organization of atmospheric pollution data (CO, SO2, NO2, O3 and PM10) and meteorological information provided by the “ Sistema de Vigilancia de Calidad de Aire de Bogotá” and mortality data of cardiopulmonary diseases obtained from the “ Secretaria Distrital de Salud de Bogotá”, establishing the relationship between criteria pollutants and the increase of mortality in the population. Stata 11.0 is used for statistical analysis. It was determined that PM10 is the only pollutant that exceeds its concentration according to the maximum allowable limits established in Resolution 610 of 2010 and the WHO Guidelines for Air Pollution. In addition, one of the results found in the 7.87% risk in cardiopulmonary mortality in the all ages group by an increase of 10 ppb in the maximum O3 concentration 8 hours combined with the NO2 24 hours; With this they demonstrate that there is in Relative Risk in the number of deaths by the level of the levels of the different pollutant criteria and their combination between them.
