The risk of incident hypertension associated with long-term exposure to fine particulate
matter (PM2. 5) was still unclear by studies conducted in North America and Europe, and …

Limited evidence is available regarding the long-term effects of fine particulate (PM 2.5) air
pollution on hypertension in developing countries. This study aimed to explore the …

Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate pollution (PM2. 5) has been associated with
cardiovascular diseases. Hypertension, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, has …

Background—Laboratory studies suggest that exposure to fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μm
in diameter)(PM2. 5) can trigger a combination of pathophysiological responses that may …

Background: Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution may increase blood
pressure and the risk of hypertension. However, epidemiological evidence is scarce and …

No evidence exists concerning the association between blood pressure and ambient
particles with aerodynamic diameter≤ 1.0 µm (PM 1), a major component of PM 2.5 (≤ 2.5 …

Few cohort studies explored the long-term effects of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
on incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), especially in countries with higher levels of …

Background Evidence of the effects of long-term fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) exposure on
cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is rare for populations exposed to high levels of PM2. 5 in …

Background Hypertension is a highly prevalent cardiovascular risk factor. It is possible that
air pollution, also an established cardiovascular risk factor, may contribute to cardiovascular …

Background The epidemiological evidence on relationships between long-term exposure to
particulate matter and hypertension and blood pressure has been inconclusive. Limited …
