In this case-only study, we identified several subpopulations particularly vulnerable to air pollution. Elder and economically inactive subjects were especially susceptive to particulate matter (PM10 or PM2.5), NO2 and SO2 exposure; never married, widowed and divorced subjects were less pronounced to PM and SO2 exposure than married; females were a little more sensitive to PM exposure than males. Regarding specific causes of death, cardiorespiratory deaths showed a higher susceptibility to air pollution exposure, which was particularly noticeable for cardiac arrest deaths. Besides this, the increase in pollution associated deaths was higher for subjects dying from congestive heart failure, myocardial
infarction, stroke, COPD and pneumonia.
