Size distribution and total number concentration of ultrafine and accumulation mode particles and hospital admissions in children and the elderly in Copenhagen, Denmark

Objectives:To study the association between short-term exposure to ultrafine particles and morbidity in Copenhagen, Denmark.Methods:We studied the association between urban background levels of the total number concentration of particles (NCtot, 6–700 nm in diameter) measured at a single site (15 Ma...

Zusammenfassung:	Objectives:To study the association between short-term exposure to ultrafine particles and morbidity in Copenhagen, Denmark.Methods:We studied the association between urban background levels of the total number concentration of particles (NCtot, 6–700 nm in diameter) measured at a single site (15 May 2001 to 31 December 2004) and hospital admissions due to cardiovascular (CVD) and respiratory disease (RD) in the elderly (age ⩾65 years), and due to asthma in children (age 5–18 years). We examined these associations in the presence of PM10, PM2.5 (particulate matter
