Background There is growing epidemiological evidence that short-term and long-term
exposure to high levels of air pollution may increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality …

Rationale: Cohort evidence linking long-term exposure to outdoor particulate air pollution
and mortality has come largely from the United States. There is relatively little evidence from …

Ambient air pollution is produced by sources including vehicular traffic, coal-fired power
plants, hydraulic fracturing, agricultural production, and forest fires. It consists of primary …

Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components, each of which has
detrimental effects on human health. While the composition of air pollution varies greatly …

Asian countries are with deteriorating air quality accompanying the rapid economic and
social development of the past decades, and the potential health impacts of air pollution …

As part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burden of Disease Comparative
Risk Assessment, the burden of disease attributable to urban ambient air pollution was …

Exposure to ambient air pollution contributes to the progression of cardiovascular disease,
particularly in susceptible populations. The objective of the present study was to determine …

Ambient air pollution due to particulate matter≤ 2.5 μ is the leading environmental risk factor
contributing to global mortality, with a preponderant majority of these deaths attributable to …

Background: Air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality, but it remains
unclear as to whether specific pollutants are related to specific cardiovascular causes of …

Abstract Fine particulate matter< 2.5 µm (PM2. 5) air pollution is a leading cause of global
morbidity and mortality. The largest portion of deaths is now known to be due to …
