Exposure to ambient air pollution is a major global health risk factor. Using recently updated
hazard ratio functions, we estimate that the global premature mortality burden attributable to …

Air pollutant levels have been widely associated with increased hospitalizations and
mortality from cardiovascular disease. In this study, the authors focused on pollutant levels …

Aims The aim of this study was to determine (i) whether long-term exposure to air pollution
was associated with all-cause mortality using the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit …

Environmental pollution in the era of sustained economic development is an inevitable
occurrence. However, the rising levels of pollutant emissions hamper air quality, hence …

Objective Air pollution is now recognized as an important independent risk factor for
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and may be responsible for up to 3 million premature …
