Results: the number of the daily incidence of the people who contract the cerebral vascular diseases in the surrounding township area of Jilin City is positively correlated with nitrogen dioxide and inhalable particulate matter; while there is no significant correlation with sulfur dioxide. However, when the number of the incidence of the people who contract the cerebral vascular diseases is combined by week, accordingly the result shows that the number of the people with the cerebral vascular diseases is significantly correlated with the air pollution index.
