Abstract

This research is to explore how the change in temperature, average temperature, and days of air pollution in several types affect the occurrences of Youth Asthma, Adult Asthma, and Lung Cancer. This study tried to figure out whether there was interaction among these variables and if any statistical models of climate change variables can explain occurrences of these diseases. Through the data analysis, the research result shown that high level of ozone, PM 2.5, and PM 10 did affect the occurrences of Adult and Youth Asthma in a statistically significant way. No variables in the model significantly affected the occurrences of Lung Cancer. The change in temperature and the average temperature is significantly affected on Youth and Adult Asthma, but the change in temperature does not affect Lung Cancer. The results of this study indicate there is strong correlation between O3, PM 2.5, and PM 10 and Pediatric and Adult Asthma.
