Air pollution is consistently linked with elevations in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD-
related mortality. Particulate matter (PM) is a critical factor in air pollution-associated CVD …

An association between high levels of air pollutants and human disease has been known for
more than half a century. Air pollution is composed of a heterogeneous mixture of …

Abstract Purpose of Review Air pollution is established as an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Ambient particulate matter (PM), a principal component of …

Air pollution is now becoming an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality. Numerous epidemiological, biomedical and clinical studies indicate that ambient …

In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and
Cardiovascular Disease” concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution …

Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. The focus of this review will be on the role that both acute and …

Air pollution is associated with staggering levels of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Airborne particulate matter (PM), in particular, has been associated with a wide range of …

Consistent evidences from both epidemiological and experimental studies have
demonstrated that short-and long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM), in particular to …

Clinical and epidemiological studies demonstrate that short-and long-term exposure to air
pollution increases mortality due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Given the …

Air pollution, especially airborne particulate matter (PM), is associated with an increase in
both morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease, although the underlying …
