This study investigated the effects of PM on ILI in Guangzhou, China. The results showed that PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 were all risk factors for ILI, and reducing the concentration of PM1 could prevent ILI.
Background: Particulate matter (PM) has been linked to respiratory infections in a growing body of evidence. Studies on the relationship between ILI (influenza-like illness) and PM1 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter <1 mu m) are, however, scarce. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of PM on ILI in Guangzhou, China. Methods: Daily ILI cases, air pollution records (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 and gaseous pollutants), and metrological data between 2014 and 2019 were gathered from Guangzhou, China. To estimate the risk of ILI linked with exposure to PM pollutants, a quasi-Poisson regression was used. Additionally, subgroup analyses stratified by gender, age and season were carried out. Results: For each 10 mu g/m(3) increase of PM1 and PM2.5 over the past two days (lag01), and PM10 over the past three days (lag02), the relative risks (RR) of ILI were 1.079 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.050, 1.109), 1.044 (95% CI: 1.027, 1.062) and 1.046 (95% CI: 1.032, 1.059), respectively. The estimated risks for men and women were substantially similar. The effects of PM pollutants between male and female were basically equivalent. People aged 15???24 years old were more susceptive to PM pollutants. Conclusions: It implies that PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 are all risk factors for ILI, the health impacts of PM pollutants vary by particle size. Reducing the concentration of PM1 needs to be considered when generating a strategy to prevent ILI.
