Environmental Drivers of Respiratory Emergency Admissions: The Role of Tropospheric Ozone and Humidity in Lleida, Spain (2010–2019)
Our findings support a significant and independent association between elevated ozone concentrations, high humidity, and respiratory emergencies. These results highlight the need for public health strategies and policy interventions focused on environmental risk forecasting and air quality management, particularly in vulnerable inland Mediterranean regions.
