The available evidence on the effects of ambient air pollution on cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs) has increased substantially. In this umbrella review, we summarized the current …

Pollution and the Heart Environmental pollution is a cardiovascular risk factor. The Global
Burden of Disease study estimated that pollution caused 9 million deaths in 2019, of which …

Air pollution is well recognized as a major risk factor for chronic non-communicable
diseases and has been estimated to contribute more to global morbidity and mortality than …

Chronic exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2. 5) poses a major global health risk,
commonly assessed by assuming equivalent toxicity for different PM 2. 5 constituents. We …

Background Exposure to ambient air pollution increases morbidity and mortality, and is a
leading contributor to global disease burden. We explored spatial and temporal trends in …

Background The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 provides
an up-to-date synthesis of the evidence for risk factor exposure and the attributable burden …

Assessment of the global burden of disease is based on epidemiological cohort studies that
connect premature mortality to a wide range of causes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, including the long-term …

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 …

This review provides a community's perspective on air quality research focusing mainly on
developments over the past decade. The article provides perspectives on current and future …

Abstract Background Fine particulate matter (Particulate matter with diameter≤ 2.5 μm) is
associated with multiple health outcomes, with varying effects across seasons and locations …
