Air pollution is increasingly recognized as an important and modifiable determinant of
cardiovascular disease in urban communities. Acute exposure has been linked to a range of …

Due to the rapid development of a diverse array of nanoparticles, used in a wide variety of
products, there are now many international activities to assess the potential toxicity of these …

Background Although many studies have examined the effects of air pollution on mortality,
data limitations have resulted in fewer studies of both particulate matter with an aerodynamic …

Fine particulate matter air pollution plus ozone impairs vascular function and raises diastolic
blood pressure. We aimed to determine the mechanism and air pollutant responsible. The …

Air Pollution has been associated with significant adverse health effects leading to
increased morbidity and mortality. Cumulative epidemiological and experimental data have …

Several studies have demonstrated that exposure to particulate matter (PM) of different size
fractions is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this review …

In this report we review the health effects of three short-lived greenhouse pollutants—black
carbon, ozone, and sulphates. We undertook new meta-analyses of existing time-series …

● Employers should administer health risk appraisals in combination with organizational
health promotion checklists that have already been developed for the worksite before …

A short-term increase in fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2. 5) concentration increases
the risk for myocardial infarctions, strokes, and heart failure exacerbations. An important …

Background Exposure to air pollution is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality, and is associated with increased blood pressure, reduced heart rate …
