Abstract

Background: Air pollution is one of the major environmental risk factors for health. Children are vulnerable to the negative health consequences of air pollution. We aimed to determine the effect of PM10 levels on postneonatal mortality in Istanbul, the most populous city in Türkiye.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the relationship between PM10 levels and postneonatal deaths occurring in Istanbul, Türkiye in 2015-2019 was examined. PM10 levels for Istanbul were calculated by taking the average of daily PM10 measurements between 01.01.2015 and 31.12.2019, made available from Istanbul Air Quality Monitoring Stations. Data were analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel 2016 and AIRQ+ 2.2.3 software.

Results: If the PM10 value in Istanbul province had been reduced to 20 μg/m³, the limit value recommended by the WHO; in 2019; 36(19-61) postneonatal infant deaths could have been prevented; 7.73% (3.98-12.95) of postneonatal infant deaths were attributed to PM10. During this period, the PM10 value in Istanbul was above the limit value recommended by WHO, the European Union and Turkish legislation.

Conclusion: Infant mortality due to air pollution is an important public health problem.

PM10 污染物水平对新生儿产后死亡率的影响：AirQ+ 模型在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的应用。

背景：空气污染是影响健康的主要环境风险因素之一。儿童很容易受到空气污染对健康造成的负面影响。我们旨在确定 PM10 水平对土耳其人口最多的城市伊斯坦布尔的新生儿产后死亡率的影响：在这项横断面研究中，我们考察了 2015-2019 年发生在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的 PM10 水平与新生儿产后死亡之间的关系。伊斯坦布尔的 PM10 水平是根据伊斯坦布尔空气质量监测站提供的 2015 年 1 月 1 日至 2019 年 12 月 31 日期间每日 PM10 测量值的平均值计算得出的。数据使用 Microsoft Office Excel 2016 和 AIRQ+ 2.2.3 软件进行分析：如果伊斯坦布尔省的 PM10 值降至 20 μg/m3（世界卫生组织建议的限值），2019 年可避免 36 例（19-61 例）产后婴儿死亡；7.73%（3.98-12.95%）的产后婴儿死亡归因于 PM10。在此期间，伊斯坦布尔的 PM10 值高于世界卫生组织、欧盟和土耳其法律建议的限值：结论：空气污染导致的婴儿死亡是一个重要的公共卫生问题。

期刊介绍： Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above mentioned research areas.
