Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between acute exposure to air pollution and suicide attempts in children. Method: In this study, we retrospectively investigated over a 10-year period the likely relationship between suicide attempts in children, two air pollutants (PM10 and SO2), and meteorological factors affecting their life-endangering behavior. Results: We have determined that every one-unit increase in air pollution level of PM10 increased the risk of suicide attemps 1,002 times in all cases (p=0.016). One unit increase in air pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed increased the risk of suicide attemps in all cases 1,064 (p=0.014), 1,012 (p=0.045), 1,400 (p |
