Popis: Objective We aimed to examine the associations between ambient air pollutants and daily mortality in Northeast China from 2014 to 2018. Methods A two-stage approach was used to estimate particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) exposure and daily mortality. Results An increase of 10 μg/m of PM10 exposure and NO2 at lag of 0 to16 days was associated with the cumulative relative risk (RR) of 1.011 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.004, 1.019) and 1.026 (95% CI: 1.004, 1.049), respectively, in non-accident mortality. Meanwhile, significant association was observed in people aged under 60 years between SO2 exposure and respiratory mortality at lag of 0 to 9 days. Conclusions Our findings strengthen the evidence of PM10 and NO2 exposures were independent risk for daily mortality.
