The data on monthly count of patients visiting Out Patient Department (OPD) and hospital admission due to respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses from hospitals along with daily air quality data from air quality monitoring stations of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Government of India, across Delhi were collected for the period 2008 to 2012. A semi-parametric Quasi-Poisson regression model was used to examine the association of high pollution episodes with relative risk of hospital OPD visit and hospital admission due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study has confirmed the substantial adverse health effects due to air pollution across criterion air pollutants. The study reports the short-term effects of air pollution on morbidity from a time-series study first time in India. The study findings illustrate the evidence of adverse health impact of air pollution from India to the global pool and can influence the policy makers to implement better air quality management system for Indian cities.
