Background: Cohort studies have reported increased risks of cardiopulmonary mortality from
long-term air pollution exposure, but the evidence is limited and inconclusive. We studied …

Background: Although long-term air pollution exposure has been linked to cardiovascular
mortality, data on incidence and nonfatal coronary disease are limited and inconclusive. The …

Background: Long-term air pollution exposure is associated with increased mortality, but the
association with incidence of fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease is less certain …

Background: Evidence based largely on US cohorts suggests that long-term exposure to fine
particulate matter is associated with cardiovascular mortality. There is less evidence for …

Background: Certain subgroups in the general population, such as persons with existing
cardiovascular or respiratory disease, may be more likely to experience adverse health …

Background Short-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been linked to occurrence of
myocardial infarction (MI); however, only a limited number of studies investigated its …

Increasing evidence links air pollution to the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study
investigated the association between ischemic heart disease (IHD) prevalence and …

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: Findings from previous cohort studies suggest a positive association between
traffic-related air pollution and cardiovascular mortality. However, few studies have …

Background Long-term exposure to particulate air pollution has been associated with an
increased risk of dying from cardiopulmonary and ischemic heart disease, yet few studies …
