Ozone level, acute sinusitis, epiglottitis and croupAbstract
The relationship between ground-level ozone levels and the manifestations of some infectious diseases in Tbilisi was studied. Feedback was found between stratospheric ozone levels and acute sinusitis, epiglottitis and croup. Among some diseases in Tbilisi in 2015, 2017 and 2018. The issue is urgent and is still being studied.
