Sažetak
Estimation of health endpoints frequencies for Zagreb population was performed by means of AirQ computer program. Time series of total suspended particulate matter (TSP), black smoke (BS), PM10 and PM2.5 particle fractions daily concentrations measured at Zagreb network stations were used. The following health endpoints frequencies were investigated: total mortality, cardiovascular mortality, respiratory mortality, hospital admissions respiratory disease, hospital admissions cardiovascular disease, hospital admissions asthma, hospital admissions COPD, acute myocardium infarction. From the results obtained, it could be concluded that fine particle fractions PM10 and PM2.5 represent the main threat to the population health, while TSP and BS because of their negative concentration trends during last decades give a false picture about the health endpoint incidences connected to the particulate pair pollution.
