The mechanisms by which exposure to particulate matter increases the risk of
cardiovascular events are not known. Recent human and animal data suggest that …

Background Exposure of human populations to ambient particulate matter (PM) air pollution
significantly contributes to the mortality attributable to ischemic cardiovascular events. We …
