Although numerous studies have investigated the association of ambient air pollution with
hypertension and blood pressure (BP), the results were inconsistent. We performed a …

Both high arterial blood pressure (BP) and elevated levels of fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
air pollution have been associated with an increased risk for several cardiovascular (CV) …

Introduction Ambient particulate air pollution is known to have detrimental effects on
cardiovascular health but less is known about the specific effects of black carbon or …

Evidence on the associations between airborne particulates of diameter≤ 1 μm (PM1) and
airborne particulates of diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) and childhood blood pressure (BP) is …

No evidence exists concerning the association between blood pressure and ambient

Background Epidemiological studies have shown that as ambient air pollution (AP)
increases the risk of cardiovascular mortality also increases. The mechanisms of this effect …

Plenty of recent studies on the impact of air pollution on blood pressure (BP) exist; however,
there is a lack of data for the highly polluted Eastern Mediterranean region. We evaluated …

Background Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) may lead to increased
blood pressure (BP). The role of industry-and traffic-specific PM 2.5 remains unclear …
