Background and aims Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been
linked with increased cardiovascular events and mortality, however, studies had shown …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of long-term residential
exposure to fine particles with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Background …

Background Epidemiological studies in humans that have evaluated the association
between fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) and atherosclerosis have yielded mixed results …

Background Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter less than 2· 5 μm in diameter (PM
2· 5) and traffic-related air pollutant concentrations are associated with cardiovascular risk …

Background Concentrations of outdoor fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) have been
associated with cardiovascular disease. PM 2.5 chemical composition may be responsible …

Background: Subclinical atherosclerosis has been associated with long-term exposure to
particulate matter (PM), but the relevance of particle size and sources of exposure remains …

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is increasingly recognized as an important and
modifiable risk factor for adverse health outcomes including cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

A large and growing body of research has provided increasingly compelling evidence that
exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Background Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) has been linked to cardiovascular disease,
possibly via accelerated atherosclerosis. We examined associations between the …

Background We investigated the change of coronary atherosclerosis with long-term
exposure to fine particulate matter of aerodynamic diameter< 2.5​ μm (PM 2.5) using …
