Background Long-term exposure to ambient and household particulate matter (PM2. 5)
causes death and health loss, and both are the leading risk factor to global disease burden …

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is closely related to lower respiratory infections (LRIs).
However, the global LRI burden attributable to PM remains unclear. Here, we provide a …

The global spatiotemporal pattern of the COPD burden attributable to ambient PM2. 5 is
unknown in the context of the continuing increase in exposure to ambient PM2. 5. Data on …

Background With much of the world's population residing in urban areas, an understanding
of air pollution exposures at the city level can inform mitigation approaches. Previous studies …

Highlights•Spatio-temporal patterns of all diseases burden attributed to ambient PM2. 5
were assessed worldwide.•The global age-standardized burden rate showed little change …

Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is the world's leading environmental health risk
factor. Quantification is needed of regional contributions to changes in global PM2. 5 …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) pollution is one of leading environmental problems
worldwide, posing a serious threat to global public health. Based on long-time series of …

Several recent studies in China have associated raised mortality risks with chronic exposure
to ambient PM2. 5. However, cohort evidence covering general populations and more …

Long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM 2.5, mass of particles with an
aerodynamic dry diameter of< 2.5 μm) is a major risk factor to the global burden of disease …

Abstract Particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5) pollution has long been a global environmental
problem and still poses a great threat to public health. This study investigates global …
