Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global public health concern. Nationwide studies
on the effects of short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) on OHCA risk are rare in …

Background Previous studies have found particulate matter (PM)< 2.5 μm in aerodynamic
diameter (PM2. 5) associated with heart disease mortality. Although rapid effects of PM2. 5 …

Background PM 2· 5 is an important but modifiable environmental risk factor, not only for
pulmonary diseases and cancers, but for cardiovascular health. However, the evidence …

Importance Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) are a major public health concern and a
leading cause of death worldwide. Exposure to ambient air pollution is associated with …

Air pollutants are associated with cardiovascular death; however, there is limited evidence of
the effects of different pollutants on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCAs) in Beijing, China …

This study aimed to examine the association between air pollution and out-of-hospital
cardiac arrest (OHCA), and the effects of underlying diseases. Between January 2015 and …

Background Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of cardiovascular death. This study
aimed at investigating the impact of short-term exposure to air pollutants on the incidence of …

Exposure to ambient air pollution increases mortality and is a leading contributor to the
global disease burden [1]. Epidemiological studies have elucidated a relationship between …

Aims Air pollution and climate change are intrinsically linked to emerging hazards for global
health. High air particulate matter (PM) levels may trigger out-of-hospital cardiac arrest …

Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains a major public health issue.
Several studies have found that an increased level of ambient particulate matter (PM) …
