الوصف: Abstract Air quality is heavily influenced by rising pollution distribution levels which are a consequence of many artificial activities from numerous sources. This study aims to determine the relationship between meteorological data and air pollutants. The health effects of long-term PM2.5 were estimated on expected life remaining (ELR) and years of life lost (YLL) indices in Ratchaburi province during the years 2015–2019 using AirQ+ software. Values obtained from the PM2.5 averaging, and YLL data were processed for the whole population in the age range of 0–29, 30–60 and over 60. These values were entered into AirQ+ software. The mean annual concentration of PM2.5 was highly variable, with the highest concentration being 136.42 μg/m3 and the lowest being 2.33 μg/m3. The results estimated that the highest and lowest YLL in the next 10 years for all age groups would be 24,970.60 and 11,484.50 in 2017 and 2019, respectively. The number of deaths due to COPD, IHD, and stroke related to long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 were 125, 27 and 26, respectively. The results showed that older people (> 64) had a higher YLL index than the groups aged under 64 years. The highest and lowest values for all ages were 307.15 (2015) and 159 (2017). Thus, this study demonstrated that the PM2.5 effect to all age groups, especially the the elderly people, which the policy level should be awared and fomulated the stratergies to protecting the sensitive group.
