Context Short-term exposure to high levels of air pollution may trigger myocardial infarction
(MI), but this association remains unclear. Objective To assess and quantify the association …

Background Most studies of long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter (PM 2· 5)
and cardiovascular disease are from high-income countries with relatively low PM 2· 5 …

Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components, each of which has
detrimental effects on human health. While the composition of air pollution varies greatly …

Background Studies have shown that long‐term exposure to air pollution such as fine
particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter [PM 2.5]) increases the risk of all …

PM2. 5 is a frequently studied particulate matter metric, due to its wide range of identified
overall adverse health effects, particularly cardiovascular health risks. However, there are no …

Cardiology is a newcomer to environmental sciences. We aim to propose an original review
of the scientific evidence regarding the effects of the environment on cardiovascular health …

Objective This review examines evidence related to the potential impact of obesity on the
cardiovascular health effects of fine particulate air pollution (PM2. 5). Methods A PubMed …

Air pollution affects 90% of the world's population and has caused 9 million deaths in 2015,
becoming the most important cause of premature deaths in the world. Exposure to fine …

Background The acute effects of exposure to ambient particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter≤ 1 μm (PM 1) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality remain …

Context: Short-term fluctuations in air pollution have been associated with changes in both
overall and cardiovascular mortality. Objective: To consider the effects of air pollution on …
