Background Fine particulate air pollution has been linked to cardiovascular disease, but
previous studies have assessed only mortality and differences in exposure between cities …

Background Ambient air pollution exposures have been frequently linked to cardiovascular
disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. However, less is known about the populations most …

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of long-term ambient particulate matter
(PM) on risk of fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). A cohort of 3,239 nonsmoking, non …

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: Long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) air pollution is
associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, the impact of PM on …

Background: Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) has been associated
with increased mortality, especially from cardiovascular disease. There are, however …

Background: The association of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular outcomes with air
pollution exposures has been well established in the literature. The number of studies …

Background: Studies have reported associations between long-term air pollution exposures
and cardiovascular mortality. The biological mechanisms connecting them remain uncertain …

Background The relationship of fine particulate matter< 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2. 5) air
pollution with mortality and cardiovascular disease is well established, with more recent long …

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 …
