Abstract: Objectives To assess the acute effects of major air pollutants(PM2.5, SO2 and NO2)on emergency calls in Jinan City. Methods Daily meteorological, air pollutants and health data of Jinan City in 2016 were collected for a descriptive analysis. A generalized linear model(GLM)based on Quasi-Poisson regression was used for estimating the acute effects of each pollutant and population emergency calling. The excess risk(ER)of population emergency calling and 95% confidence interval(CI)was calculated with a 10 μg/m3 increase in concentrations of PM2.5, SO2 and NO2, separately. Furthermore, we also explored the different effects in gender(male and female)and age group(<65 years and ≥65 years old). Results A total of 43 966 emergency calls with a range from 80 to 183 were collected. With an increase of 10 μg/m3 in the concentration of PM2.5(lag0), SO2(lag0), NO2(lag0), the population emergency calls could rised 0.46%(95%CI: 0.12%~0.79%), 1.25%(95%CI: 0.36%~2.14%)and 1.35%(95%CI: 0.53%~2.17%), individually. The male was more sensitive to air pollution than the female. Different acute effects of three air 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)56卷11期 -崔亮亮,等.济南市大气重点污染物对居民应急呼叫事件的急性影响 \=-pollutants and emergency calls were varied on the different age groups. Conclusion The major air pollutants of PM2.5, SO2 and NO2 have significant acute effects on population emergency calling in Jinan City, particularly for the male and varied on the age group.
