Air pollution and lung diseases in Oporto Area.

M C Alvim Ferraz1, M C Faria Ferraz, J M Ferraz, P I Fonseca.   

Abstract

This area has a rate of patients with obstructive chronic lung disease that is the highest in Portugal and the second in Europe. Levels of pollution observed in 1985/86 and 1986/87 allowed evaluating the effects of concentrations lower than those that usually cause acute episodes. It was observed that even low levels of strong acidity can be related with lung diseases, when observed simultaneously with appreciable levels of black smoke; climatic factors have a synergetic effect.
