Abstract

Objective To explore the impact and interactions of short-term exposure to O₃ and meteorological factors on the number of deaths in Ningbo City. Methods Using cause of death, meteorological, and environmental monitoring data from Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was employed to analyze the effects and interactions of short-term exposure to O₃ and meteorological factors on the number of deaths. Results Low temperature, low temperature-humidity index (THI), and low wind chill index (WCI) increased the risk of death from all causes, respiratory diseases, and circulatory diseases. Short-term exposure to O₃ has a significant effect on the risk of all-cause mortality, respiratory and circulatory mortality (all P < 0.05), with the maximum effect observed at cumulative lag of 06, 07 and 06 days, which were 1.008(95% CI: 1.004-1.011), 1.015(95% CI: 1.007-1.022) and 1.009(95% CI: 1.004-1.014), respectively. Short-term exposure of O₃ and high temperature, high THI, and high WCI showed a significant synergistic enhancement effect on the risk of all-cause mortality, respiratory and circulatory diseases, with the most pronounced effect observed in individuals aged ≥65 years. Conclusions Short-term exposure to O₃ and meteorological factors in Ningbo has a certain impact on the number of deaths, with significant interactions observed. The population aged ≥65 years may represent a potential high-risk group.
