Objective To assess the relationship between fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) concentration
and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) morbidity and mortality. Methods A time-series study …

Background Few studies have used spatially resolved ambient particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter of< 10 μm (PM 10) to examine the impact of PM 10 on ischemic heart …

Ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution has been linked to elevated mortality, especially
from cardiovascular diseases. However, evidence on the effects of particulate matter …

Background Evidence of the effects of long-term fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) exposure on
cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is rare for populations exposed to high levels of PM2. 5 in …

Background Heavy fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM2. 5)
pollution events continue to occur frequently in developing countries. Objectives The authors …

Background Air pollution and cardiovascular disease are increasing problems in China.
However, the short-term association between fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and …

Introduction Evidence based on ecological studies in China suggests that short-term
exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with cardiovascular mortality. However …

Rationale: Evidence concerning the acute health effects of air pollution caused by fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) in developing countries is quite limited. Objectives: To evaluate …

Objective To estimate the risks of daily hospital admissions for cause specific major
cardiovascular diseases associated with short term exposure to ambient fine particulate …

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 …
