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 …

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 Long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution increases the risk of cardiovascular
disease, but evidence is unclear on the health effects of exposure to pollutant concentrations …

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 …

Background: Studies examining the nonfatal health outcomes of exposure to air pollution
have been limited by the number of pollutants studied and focus on short-term exposures …

Air pollution exerts several deleterious effects on the cardiovascular system, with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounting for 80% of all premature deaths caused by air …

Acute exposure to air pollution is associated with an increasing risk of death and
cardiovascular disorders. Nonetheless, the impact of chronic exposure to air pollution on the …

Despite recent advances in treatment and prevention, stroke remains a leading cause of
morbidity and mortality. There is a critical need to identify novel modifiable risk factors for …

Background: Heart failure (HF) poses a significant global disease burden. The current
evidence on the impact of air pollution on HF remains inconsistent. Objectives: We aimed to …

Few cohort studies explored the long-term effects of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
on incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), especially in countries with higher levels of …
