Abstract
Results of detailed statistical analysis of the changeability of mortality on 1000 inhabitants (M) of the population of Tbilisi city in 1984-2010 are represented. The characteristics of the indicated time series is studied (autocorrelation, trend, random components, etc.). In particular, the values of M varies from 8.03 to 12.35, the changeability of mortality is described by the fifth order power polynomial, etc. The influence of the content of surface ozone on the mortality is studied. It is shown, that under the conditions of Tbilisi city the concentration of surface ozone 50 mcg/m3 and above very negative influences the health of people and it leads to an increase in the mortality.
