Abstract
Environmental factors such as meteorological conditions and air pollutants are recognized as important for human health, where mortality and morbidity of certain diseases may be related to abrupt climate change or air pollutant concentration. In the literature, environmental factors have been identified as risk factors for chronic diseases such as ischemic heart disease. However, the likelihood evaluation of the disease occurrence probability due to environmental factors is missing.
