Background Few studies have simultaneously examined the effect of long-term exposure to
air pollution and ambient temperature on the rate of hospital admissions with cardiovascular …

Background Information is currently being collected by the CDC Environmental Public
Health Tracking (EPHT) network on hospitalizations due to Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) …

Daily measures of maximum temperature, particulate matter less than or equal to 10 micro m
in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), and gaseous pollution (ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur …

Background Studies have observed associations between long-term air pollution and
cardiovascular disease hospitalization. Little is known, however, about effect modification of …

It is known that extreme temperature and ambient air pollution are each independently
associated with human health outcomes. However, findings from the few studies that have …

Background The systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is
challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias. Methods We …

Abstract Background Particulate matter< 2.5 μm in diameter (PM 2.5) and heat are strong
predictors of morbidity, yet few studies have examined the effects of long-term exposures on …

This study examines the consistency of the association between particulate matter less than
10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM 10), carbon monoxide (CO), and hospital admissions …

This study was undertaken to determine whether there was an association between fine
particles (PM2. 5) levels and hospital admissions for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in …

Objectives This study examined the association between mean daily apparent temperature
and hospital admissions for several diseases in nine California counties from May to …
