Ambient air pollution and cardiovascular disease rate an ANN modeling: Yazd-Central of Iran.

ABSTRACT: This study was aimed to investigate the air pollutants impact on heart patient's hospital admission rates in Yazd for the first time. Modeling was done by time series, multivariate linear regression, and artificial neural network (ANN). During 5 years, the mean concentrations of PM₁₀, SO₂, O₃, NO₂, and CO were 98.48 μg m^-3, 8.57 ppm, 19.66 ppm, 18.14 ppm, and 4.07 ppm, respectively. The total number of cardiovascular disease (CD) patients was 12,491, of which 57% and 43% were related to men and women, respectively. The maximum correlation of air pollutants was observed between CO and PM₁₀ (R = 0.62). The presence of SO₂ and NO₂ can be dependent on meteorological parameters (R = 0.48). Despite there was
