Regional differences in acute hospitalization risk associated with NO2 by cause, season, age, sex, and trend: an ecological time series study in Canada
This study indicates harmful NO<sub>2</sub> effects on acute hospitalizations year-round: circulatory causes (cold season) and respiratory causes (warm season). Future work is warranted to investigate potential causes of observed regional differences using more community-related information such as socioeconomic status, health-care accessibility, and others.
