摘要
The aim of this paper is to show spatial differences and correlations in long-term air pollution measurements in the eight SAPALDIA sites (Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung Diseases in Adults, SAPALDIA). In addition, a comparison with climatic parameters and pollen counts are presented in a descriptive way. SAPALDIA investigated health effects from air pollutants and climate in a cross-sectional study (1991) and in a follow-up longitudinal study (1992-1993). Over the period 1991-1993, urban-rural-Alpine concentration gradients were found for SO2, NO2, PM10 and HNO3. For O-3, average levels were higher in the Alps but peak levels were higher at sites on the Swiss Plateau. Levels of sulphuric acid were negligibly small; acidity was mainly determined by the content of HNO3. A statistical analysis of long-term data for SO2, NO2, TSP, PM10, HNO3 and size-fractions of suspended particulate matter (SPM) indicated strong correlations. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
