    Most meteorological factors showed no significant link to attempted suicides. However, solar eruptions correlated with zero suicides, while specific wind directions, especially those with ionized particles, were linked to increased self-destruction rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Health
    • Psychiatry
    • Atmospheric Science

    Context:

    • Investigates the potential influence of biometeorological factors on suicide attempts.
    • Analyzes 675 suicide attempt cases against daily meteorological data.
    • Examines factors including atmospheric pressure, temperature, insolation, precipitation, humidity, wind, and solar activity.

    Purpose:

    • To determine significant relationships between specific biometeorological conditions and the incidence of attempted suicides.
    • To statistically evaluate correlations using chi-squared tests and degrees of freedom.

    Summary:

    • No significant correlation was found between most meteorological factors and suicide attempts.
    • A notable absence of suicides occurred during solar eruption periods.

  • A marked correlation was observed between suicide attempts and wind direction, particularly winds carrying ionized particles.

    • Impact:

    • Suggests potential environmental triggers for self-destructive behavior.
    • Highlights the need for further research into the effects of atmospheric ionization and solar activity on mental health.
    • Informs public health strategies and environmental monitoring related to suicide prevention.
