The effects of exposure to air pollutants are usually associated with hospitalizations and deaths from diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems. The most sensitive populations are children and the elderly. National and international studies have identified particulate matter (PM10) as associated with these events. Some national studies have shown that the decrease of the concen…
Congenital syphilis (CS) is still present in Brazil, with 24,000 cases reported in 2019; it is due to the fact that the pregnant woman is contaminated and, possibly, due to lack of attention to the prenatal period. The objective of this study is to identify spatial patterns of CS in microregions of the state of São Paulo in two years - 2015 and 2019. SC data will be obtained from DATASUS …
Trata-se de estudo do tipo ecológico e exploratório com dados de mortalidade neonatal fornecidos pelo DATASUS, no período entre 2015 e 2019. A análise destes dados utilizará as ferramentas de geoprocessamento dos programas de acesso público TerraView e GeoDa, sendo que serão construídos mapas temáticos e obtidos os valores de autocorrelação espacial segundo os índices de Moran global univ…
It is known that air pollution causes damage to the health of the human being, but few studies have been developed in medium-sized cities. This study aims to estimate the association between exposure to environmental pollutants and hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases (Cid-10-J00.0 to J99.9), in the city of Taubaté -SP. It is an ecological study of time series with data obtained f…
Scientific studies prove that air pollution is harmful to human health. It is also known that children are even more sensitive to pollution than adults, due to the immaturity of their immune system, among other causes. The increase in the number of hospitalizations in public hospitals due to air pollution generates costs and increases the public expenses that could be allocated to other e…
