Description:
This dataset includes information on particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and O3 concentrations (CETESB, 2024, GMAO, 2015), as well as population and morbidity and mortality data for elderly residents (≥60 years) in Ribeirão Preto (SP) (Brazilian Ministry of Health, 2024). Concentrations of PM10 (2010-2013 and 2017-2019) and PM2.5 (2017-2019) were obtained from the Qualar platform and through calculations based on the components of NASA's MERRA-2 (GMAO, 2015). These calculations, we used the equations of Bali et al. (2021), Buchard et al. (2016) and NASA (2023). O3 concentrations (2018-2019) were obtained exclusively from the Qualar platform. The PM2.5/O3 ratio was calculated from these data, and a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) was performed in Ribeirão Preto.
