ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The Chilean Metropolitan region is exposed to nitrogen dioxide levels that are above the WHO Air Quality Guidelines.AIM:
To report the exposure to nitrogen dioxide levels and to estimate the damage that these levels can cause in health. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Description of nitrogen dioxide levels in the Chilean Metropolitan Region between 2016 and 2018 and the attributable risk of these levels on the population health.RESULTS:
The average hourly levels of nitrogen dioxide exceeded 40 pg/m3. In the three years studied, 11,686 attributable health problems were estimated, including deaths, hospitalizations, and attendance to emergency rooms.CONCLUSIONS:
We provide valid information to review and adjust primary air quality standards for nitrogen dioxide. The exposed population should be educated about the risk of this exposure to promote self-care.Palavras-chave
