Outdoor air pollution is a major contributor to the burden of disease worldwide. Most of the
global population resides in places where air pollution levels, because of emissions from …

As new scientific evidence on health effects of air pollution is generated, air quality
guidelines need to be periodically updated. The objective of this review is to support the …

The burning of fossil fuels–especially coal, petrol, and diesel–is a major source of airborne
fine particulate matter (PM 2.5), and a key contributor to the global burden of mortality and …

Objective To investigate the associations between air pollution and mortality, focusing on
associations below current European Union, United States, and World Health Organization …

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a major global health concern.
Quantitative estimates of attributable mortality are based on disease-specific hazard ratio …

Background Long-term exposure to ambient and household particulate matter (PM2. 5)
causes death and health loss, and both are the leading risk factor to global disease burden …

Background Ambient air pollution is a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet
uncertainty remains about the size of risks at lower levels of fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) …

Background Fine particulate matter< 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2. 5) has known effects on
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, no study has quantified and compared the …

BACKGROUND The growing scientific evidence for effects of air pollution on health at
concentrations below current air quality standards and the large burden of disease attributed …

Much of the key epidemiological evidence that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter
air pollution (PM 2.5) contributes to increased risk of mortality comes from survival studies of …
