This study investigated the correlation between the concentration of air pollutants in two metropolitan cities, Seoul and Incheon, located in South Korea with different urban characteristics and the number of patients with circulatory diseases among residents exposed to air pollution. The residential area was selected as Eunpyeong-gu of Seoul Metropolitan City and the industrial area as Jung-gu of Incheon Metropolitan City. The evaluation period is between 2015 and 2016. The relevant data provide by the Korea governmental agency were analysed to derive the purpose of this study. It was confirmed that PM 10 , PM 2.5 , nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide among air pollutants had an increasing impact on the incidence rate of circulatory diseases. The PM 2.5  was positively correlated with the incidence rate of all circulatory diseases in residential area (p &lt; 0.05). The carbon monoxide showed a positive correlation with circulatory system diseases except for hypertension in residential area. (p &lt; 0.05). The sulfur dioxide was positively correlated with all circulatory diseases in both residential and industrial area (p &lt; 0.05). Based on the results obtained from this study, it was found that there are different types of air pollutants that affect circulatory diseases in residential and industrial areas.

Association between exposure level of air pollutants and incidence rate of circulatory disease in residential and industrial areas of South Korea
