The number of admissions was obtained from the hospital records database. Selected groups of causes were all cardiovascular diseases, heart admissions, and admissions for cerebrovascular diseases. The number of admissions for digestive diseases was used as control. Pollutants were black smoke, sulphur dioxide (SO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), nitrogen dioxide (NO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>), carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>). Magnitude of association was estimated by Poisson autoregresive regression.

A significant association for black smoke, SO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>-24 h, SO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>-1 h, and CO-1 h was found in the hottest semester. All these associations were verified with a lag of two days. The estimates of the associations for particles, SO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>, and CO were affected by the inclusion of the other pollutants in their models.
