“…The results indicated that having more vegetation in residential areas can reduce the negative effects of air pollution on respiratory health. Other research 34 looked at how exposure to air pollution and residential vegetation affects the risk of hospitalizations for pediatric respiratory illnesses. The results showed that the presence of vegetation in residential areas can mitigate the harmful effects of air pollution on children’s respiratory health.…”

“…A study in the United States found that greenness was positively associated with hospitalization for respiratory disease (Klompmaker et al., 2022 ). In a study utilizing data of the 2019 Global Burden of Disease, greenness was significantly negatively associated with the global burden of disease for lower respiratory infections (Liu et al., 2023 ). Few studies have examined whether greenness mediate the association between air pollution and respiratory hospitalization.…”

It is unclear whether Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and greenness have additional modifying effects on the association between air pollution and respiratory system disease. Utilizing a time‐stratified case‐crossover design with a distributed lag linear model, we analyzed the association between six pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, O3, and CO) and 555,498 respiratory hospital admissions in Beijing from 1st January 2016 to 31st December 2019. We employed conditional logistic regression, adjusting for meteorological conditions, holidays and influenza, to calculate percent change of hospitalization risk. Subsequently, we performed subgroup analysis to investigate potential effect modifications using a two‐sample z test. Every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, and O3 led to increases of 0.26% (95%CI: 0.17%, 0.35%), 0.15% (95%CI: 0.09%, 0.22%), 0.61% (95%CI: 0.44%, 0.77%), 1.72% (95%CI: 1.24%, 2.21%), and 0.32% (95%CI: 0.20%, 0.43%) in admissions, respectively. Also, a 1 mg/m3 increase in CO levels resulted in a 2.50% (95%CI: 1.96%, 3.04%) rise in admissions. The links with NO2 (p < 0.001), SO2 (p < 0.001), O3 (during the warm season, p < 0.001), and CO (p < 0.001) were significantly weaker among patients residing in areas with higher levels of greenness. No significant modifying role of GDP was observed. Greenness can help mitigate the effects of air pollutants, while the role of GDP needs further investigation.
