Background Particulate air pollution is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
disease and stroke. Although the precise mechanisms underlying this association are still …

Background and objectives Exposure to particulate matter (PM 2.5) has been associated
with increased cardiovascular outcomes, mediated by a hypothesized biological mechanism …

The effect of particulate matter (PM) on health increases with exposure duration but the
change from short to longer term is not well studied. We examined the exposure to PM …

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 Systemic inflammation is considered one of the key mechanisms in the
development of cardiovascular diseases induced by fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air …

Background Exposure to particulate matter air pollution (PM) has been associated with
cardiovascular diseases. Objectives In this study we evaluated whether annual exposure to …

Background Toxicological research suggests that coarse particles (PM10–2.5) are
inflammatory, but responses are complex and may be best summarized by multiple …

Background: Short-term associations between size-fractionated particulate air pollution and
circulating biomarkers are not well established, especially in developing countries with high …

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a key factor in epigenetic regulation of gene
expression, but miRNA responses to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air pollution and their …

Background Evidence on the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and
cardiovascular mortality is limited in Asian populations. Methods We conducted a cohort …
