Interesting Comparisons and Contrasts

  • There is still some negative correlation that exists when correlating the percentage of the population having COPD and cardiovascular disease with the concentration of the pollutants in the air.
  • When correlating the percentage of adults with asthma with the concentration of pollutants in the air, the correlation seems to somewhat fluctuate for all 5 years.
  • When correlating the percentage of kids with asthma with the concentration of pollutants in the air, generally the correlation seems to be stagnant around 0 for all 5 years.

Conclusion

  • For the next one year it is anticipated that there is generally little to no correlation between respiratory diseases and air pollution.
  • However, for the years following next year, it is anticipated that there is generally a positive or stronger correlation between cardiovascular disease and the concentration of carbon monoxide and the concentration of nitric oxide.
  • But we do not know for sure how much pollution there will be in the years that follow. Things can change.
  • We also do not know how many people would end up getting disease(s) from the air pollution because different pollutants in the air do affect different people in different ways.
