dc.titleHuman Discomfort Due to Environmental Conditions in Urban Thessaloniki, Greece. Part I. Air Quality Stress Levelsen
heal.abstractSince air pollution levels are strongly dependent on atmospheric conditions, it is important to take both into consideration when examining the effects of weather on human health. In this study, the discomfort conditions were estimated by using several air-quality stress indices based on air-pollutant concentrations in the center of Thessaloniki. Also, the temporal fluctuations in heat waves were analysed by using several thermal stress indices, like the number of hot days during the summer period, for the years 1970-2005, with maximum temperatures greater than a threshold temperature. It was found that air quality conditions in the urban area of Thessaloniki can be characterised as acute for the last years, with respect mainly to photochemical pollutants and suspended particulates (PM(10) and PM(2.5)). The consequence is that discomfort to humans in the center of Thessaloniki due to environmental conditions is caused by temporary thermal stress during the heat waves and permanent air quality stress.en
