Background Previous work reported increased rates of acute cardiovascular hospitalizations
associated with increased PM 2.5 concentrations in the previous few days across urban …

Background Previous studies reported triggering of acute cardiovascular events by short-
term increasedPM 2.5 concentrations. From 2007 to 2013, national and New York state air …

The objective was to explore associations of chemical components and source factors of
ambient fine particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm; PM 2.5) with …

Background Although the association between exposure to particulate matter and health is
well established, there remains uncertainty as to whether certain chemical components are …

Background: Short-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) concentrations
has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Determining which sources of …

It is known that extreme temperature and ambient air pollution are each independently
associated with human health outcomes. However, findings from the few studies that have …

Background: Evidence of health risks associated with ambient airborne fine particles in
nonurban populations is extremely limited. Objective: We estimated the risk of …

Background While strong evidence exists for associations between fine particles (PM 2.5)
and health, less is known about whether associations differ by sex. Methods We used …

Background Studies have shown that the effects of particulate matter on health vary based
on factors including the vulnerability of the population, health care practices, exposure …

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