dc.description.abstractThe aim of this work was to study the impact of temporal lag between the exposition to air pollutants and the children admitted to the emergency room of Hospital Na Sra Rosário pediatric service, in Barreiro, Portugal, with symptoms of respiratory problems. The two variables were recorded by the medical staff and by an air quality monitoring station, in the same periods. From the results, a moderate correlation between different symptoms of respiratory diseases (sdr, cough, and asthma) and pollutants was found, reaching maximum values after temporal lags of 2 to 6 days. The strongest correlation for lag 0 (consequences on the same day) rises for the symptomatology of asthma, reaching the highest values for COmax (ρ = 0.26) and COpeak (ρ = 0.25). Also, an important correlation was found for NOx, NOx med and peak NOx (ρ = 0, 21). The correlation with PM10 shows an unrepresentative value (ρ = 0.09), being negative for O3max (ρ = 􏰀0.23) and O3peak (ρ = 􏰀 0.22), as well as for SO2med (ρ = 􏰀0.12). Considering temporal lags of 1 to 8 and 15 days, overall, the maximum correlations between symptoms and NO, NO2, NOx, CO, and PM10 occur after temporal lags of 2 to 6 days, being constant or negative to SO2 and O3.pt_PT
