Population exposures to ambient outdoor particulate matter (PM) air pollution have been
assessed to represent a major burden on global health. Ambient PM is a diverse class of air …

The epidemiological evidence for PM-associated health effects continues to mount. The
effects, including morbidity and mortality, are most evident in the elderly and those with …

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 …

Efforts to understand and mitigate the health effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollution
have a rich and interesting history. This review focuses on six substantial lines of research …

In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and

Abstract The World Health Organization estimates that particulate matter (PM) air pollution
contributes to approximately 800,000 premature deaths each year, ranking it the 13th …

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

Air pollution is a heterogeneous mixture of gases, liquids and PM (particulate matter). In the
modern urban world, PM is principally derived from fossil fuel combustion with individual …

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 …
