The effects of air pollution on health have been intensively studied in recent years. Acute
exposure to environmental pollutants such as particulate and gaseous matters (carbon …

Background: Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution has recently been linked to
atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. There are, however, very limited data in healthy …

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 …

Background Associations between air pollution and a multitude of health effects are now
well established. Given ubiquitous exposure to some level of air pollution, the attributable …

Background: Air pollution exposures are hypothesized to impact blood pressure, yet few
longitudinal studies exist, their findings are inconsistent, and different adjustments have …

Background & aim Numerous studies have linked air pollution with cardiovascular diseases.
Fewer studies examined the associations at low concentration levels or assessed potential …

It is well recognized that the exposure to air pollution is associated with many adverse
effects on health. A strong epidemiological association has been particularly observed …

Evidence suggests that traffic-related pollutants play a role in the observed associations
between air pollution and adverse cardiovascular health effects. The contribution of traffic to …

Since the publication of the last American Heart Association scientific statement on air
