This time period included the closure and reopening of the local steel mill, the primary source of PM10. An association between elevated PM10 levels and hospital admissions for pneumonia, pleurisy, bronchitis, and asthma was observed. During months when 24-hour PM10 levels exceeded 150 micrograms\/m3, average admissions for children nearly tripled; in adults, the increase in admissions was 44 per cent. During months with mean PM10 levels greater than or equal to 50 micrograms\/m3 average admissions for children and adults increased by 89 and 47 per cent, respectively. During the winter months when the steel mill was open, PM10 levels were nearly double the levels experienced during the winter months when the mill was closed. This occurred even though relatively stagnant air was experienced during the winter the mill was closed. Children's admissions were two to three times higher during the winters when the mill was open compared to when it was closed. Regression analysis also revealed that PM10 levels were strongly correlated with hospital admissions. They were more strongly correlated with children's admissions than with adult admissions and were more strongly correlated with admissions for bronchitis and asthma than with admissions for pneumonia and pleurisy. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.79.5.623","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,29]],"date-time":"2008-11-29T13:03:17Z","timestamp":1227963797000},"page":"623-628","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":392,"title":["Respiratory disease associated with community air pollution and a steel mill, Utah Valley."],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"79","author":[{"suffix":"3rd","given":"C A","family":"Pope","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"844","reference":[{"key":"p_1","first-page":"24634","volume":"52","author":"US Environmental Protection Agency","year":"1987","journal-title":"Federal Register"},{"key":"p_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.51.2.155"},{"key":"p_3","first-page":"683","volume":"11","author":"Firket J","year":"1931","journal-title":"Bull Acad Roy Med Belg"},{"key":"p_4","first-page":"104","volume":"12","author":"Gore AT","year":"1968","journal-title":"Br J Prev Soc Med"},{"key":"p_5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(53)91012-5"},{"key":"p_6","unstructured":"Schrenk JJ, Heimann H, Clayton GD, Gafafer W, Wexler H: Air Pollution in Donora, Pennsylvania, Epidemiology of the Smog Episode of October 1948.
