Magnetic Storms and an Emergency Ambulance Call Pattern in Petrozavodsk
Authors: , ,
Abstract: We use geophysical and geochemical data and an impersonalized catalogue of ambulance calls for the period 2015-2017 to study the morbidity of the population in Petrozavodsk, which is located in sub- Arctic area with complex climatic and weather and geomagnetic conditions. Temporal, spatial and other emergency call distributions, reflecting the effects of a variety of factors on morbidity, have been investigated. The effect of geomagnetic activity on the number of ambulance calls with myocardial infarction and stenocardia diagnoses and reducing the number of calls in weekend and holiday were corroborated. Urban soil pollution did not correlate with the distribution of the ambulance call number in residential areas for common diseases. The results reflect the structure of the morbidity of the urban population and are not contradicted to known environmental models
