The impact of air pollution on human health is subject to extensive research. Most evidence concerns the effect of exposure to airborne PM10 and PM2.5 on daily mortality and hospital admissions. However; less is known about the effects of SO2. Our study (time-series analysis) investigates the effects of 24-hour concentrations of PM10, SO2 and NOX on daily mortality over 2001-2002 in 14 cities of the Katowice Conurbation. Results of the study suggest that SO2 is the major air pollutant affecting the daily mortality profile in Katowice Conurbation. Sulphur dioxide effect is apparent in relation to both general and cardiovascular or respiratory mortality, particularly in the elderly. The effect of PM10 concentration is also statistically significant but only to the general mortality pattern.

A permanent improvement in ambient air quality in the Urban Area of Katowice over recent years could have resulted in a decreased risk of air pollution-related daily mortality. Our study investigates the risk associated with the levels of PM₁₀ and SO₂, obtained seven years apart (time-series analyses in 1994-95 and 2001- 02). For both periods the acute mortality risk depends more on SO₂ than on PM₁₀ levels. The permanent improvement in ambient air pollution was associated with a decrease in relative risk of mortality, only for SO₂ levels. For example, the magnitude of the total mortality relative risk related to a 10 μg/m³ increase in pollutant’s concentration (a 3-day moving average) was for SO₂ 1.019 (1.015-1.023) in 1994-95 and 1.012 (1.005- 1.019) in 2001-02, and for PM₁₀ 1.007 (1.004-1.011) in 1994-95 and 1.007 (1.003-1.011) in 2001-02.
