Abstract
The upper northern Thailand suffers from air pollution due to open burning, which has been known for a long time. It was also found that different respiratory diseases were attributed to air pollution, especially particulate matter. This study estimated the health impacts attributed to PM10 between 2014 and 2016 using the burden of disease in terms of the disability adjusted life year (DALYs). The spatial correlation was evaluated based on applicable remote sensing data using the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. The average measured PM10 concentrations for the summer and annual periods between 2014 and 2016 were 73 and 89 µg m-3, respectively, exceeded the national standard (50 µg m-3). In the months of March and April, when PM10 concentrations were at their highest, the maximum values of the Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC-AOD), 2.70 and 3.48, were recorded. There was a strong correlation between the MAIAC-AOD and the ground-based AOD measurements (AERONET stations), with R of 0.8468, 0.8396, and 0.8334 between 2014–2016. The correlation coefficients for the 3,208 co-located gridded of PM10 emissions vs. measured PM10, measured PM10 vs. MAIAC-AOD, and MAIAC-AOD vs. PM10 emissions were 0.6656, 0.6446, and 0.5580, respectively. The spatial correlation between the interpolated measured PM10 and 1-km MAIAC-AOD was 0.5979, 0.3741, and 0.7584 as an outcome of GWR. The total DALYs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) attributable to PM10 in 2014–2016 were 115,930 years per 100,000 population, with the relative risk of COPD related to PM10 at a 95% confidence interval of 1.2045–1.2107.
