Air pollution levels in Atlanta are linked to hospital visits for problems ranging from respiratory infections to heart attacks, scientists from a utility industry-owned research center said Wednesday.

The research is part of an ongoing series of air pollution studies initiated in the early 1990s by the institute and Atlanta-based Southern Co.
