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 …

Abstract Fine particulate matter< 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) air pollution is the most important
environmental risk factor contributing to global cardiovascular (CV) mortality and disability …

Inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2. 5), produced by the combustion of fossil fuels, is
an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Exposure to PM2. 5 has been linked to …

Background Dementia is a devastating condition typically preceded by a long prodromal
phase characterized by accumulation of neuropathology and accelerated cognitive decline …

In this review, we elucidate the central role played by fossil fuel combustion in the health-
related effects that have been associated with inhalation of ambient fine particulate matter …

Background Stroke is one of the world's leading causes of death. Many studies have
checked the relationship between short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) and stroke …

Background Particulate matter (PM) is a key pollutant in ambient air that has been
associated with negative health conditions in urban environments. The aim of this study was …

Abstract Fine particulate matter< 2.5 µm (PM2. 5) air pollution is a leading cause of global
morbidity and mortality. The largest portion of deaths is now known to be due to …

Background Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5, with aerodynamic diameter
less than 2.5 µm) is a leading environmental risk factor for global cardiovascular health …

Mounting evidence supports that fine particulate matter adversely affects cardiometabolic
diseases particularly in susceptible individuals; however, health effects induced by the …
