Current day concentrations of ambient air pollution have been associated with a range of
adverse health effects, particularly mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular and …

Ambient air pollution (AAP) and particulate matters (PM) have been closely associated with
adverse health effects such as respiratory disease and cardiovascular diseases. Previous …

Background Air pollution has been associated with increased mortality. However, updated
evidence from cohort studies with detailed information on various risk factors is needed …

Epidemiologic evidence indicates that exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution (PM
2.5) contributes to global burden of disease, primarily because of increased risk of …

Background Ambient air pollution is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet
uncertainty remains about the size of risks at lower levels of fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) …

Background: Evidence indicates that air pollution contributes to cardiopulmonary mortality.
There is ongoing debate regarding the size and shape of the pollution–mortality exposure …

Health effects attributable to air pollution exposure in Chinese population have been least
understood. The authors conducted a meta-analysis on 33 time-series and case-crossover …

Background Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μg/m 3 in
aerodynamic diameter; PM 2.5) is significantly associated with increased risk of premature …

Importance Long-term exposure to fine particulate air pollution (PM 2.5) is a known risk
factor for cardiovascular events, but controversy remains as to whether the current National …

Background Several studies have reported associations between long term exposure to air
pollutants and cause-specific mortality. However, since the concentrations of air pollutants in …
