Observational studies have consistently demonstrated an association between exposure to
air pollution and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This association is …

Increased levels of particulate matter in the air have been associated with increased
pulmonary morbidity and mortality in epidemiologic studies. The recent mortality findings are …

A recent series of epidemiologic reports have shown associations between fine particulate
matter (PM) levels and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Elevated PM levels …

A growing body of evidence from epidemiological and toxicological studies provides a
strong link between exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) of varying size and …

Background Several studies have demonstrated an association between exposure to
ambient particulate matter (PM) and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Inflammation …

The fine size mode of ambient particulates, designated as PM-10, is a heterogeneous
mixture that can vary in particle size and chemical composition, depending on geographical …

Chemical components of air pollutant exposures that induce oxidative stress and
subsequent inflammation may be partly responsible for associations of cardiovascular …

In response to epidemiological studies published over 20 years ago, at least three research
communities have been intensively studying airborne particulate matter (PM). These efforts …

Both short-and long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution have been
demonstrated to cause increases in cardiovascular disease, cancer, and respiratory …
