Abstract

China being the largest developing country is facing the worst air pollution issues in the world. Furthermore, largest increased health risk was observed among Chinese population in previous studies. Due to this, Environmental health is a current global concern among epidemiological researchers. In this study, an application case of Beijing during 2009 was taken for example. Statistical analysis was carried out to evaluate the impact of air quality index (AQI) and AQI with different concentration levels on respiratory disease (RD), genders and various age groups. The results proved to be significant and could be helpful for Chinese government to maintain the sustainable development with appropriate urgency in Beijing.
