近年来，空气污染对健康的不良影响一直是研究的热点。接触空气中的颗粒物（PM）和臭氧（O-3）等污染物与呼吸系统和心血管疾病引起的发病率和死亡率增加有关。本研究的目的是确定颗粒（PM10, PM2.5）和O-3与Setubal医院入院率之间的相关性，Setubal是葡萄牙人口稠密的城市地区，与重工业地区共存。收集了5年（2005-2009年）的每日空气质量和住院数据数据库，并通过普通最小二乘线性回归调查了它们之间的关联。结果显示，PM10与14岁以下和64岁以上人群的呼吸系统疾病呈正相关，PM2.5与64岁以上人群的呼吸系统疾病呈正相关。
In recent years, the adverse health effects attributed to air pollution have been a focus of intense study. Exposure to pollutants such as airborne particulate matter (PM) and ozone (O-3) has been associated with increases in morbidity and mortality due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine a correlation between particles (PM10, PM2.5) and O-3 with hospital admissions in Setubal, a densely populated Portuguese urban region that coexists with a heavy industrial area. A database with daily air quality and hospital admission data over 5 years (2005-2009) was assembled and associations were investigated by ordinary least squares linear regression. Results showed positive significant associations between PM10 and respiratory diseases for ages below 14 yr and above 64 yr, and between PM2.5 and respiratory diseases for ages above 64 yr.
