Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution brought into the air by a variety of
natural and human activities. As it can be suspended over long time and travel over long …

Background Acute exposure to air pollution has been linked to myocardial infarction, but its
effect on heart failure is uncertain. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess …

Abstract The World Health Organization estimates that particulate matter (PM) air pollution
contributes to approximately 800,000 premature deaths each year, ranking it the 13th …

Objective To review the evidence for the short term association between air pollution and
stroke. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies Data sources …

Context Short-term exposure to high levels of air pollution may trigger myocardial infarction
(MI), but this association remains unclear. Objective To assess and quantify the association …

Background Evidence of the short-term effects of ambient air pollution on the risk of ischemic
stroke in low-and middle-income countries is limited and inconsistent. We aimed to examine …

Background Short-term exposure to major air pollutants (O3, CO, NO2, SO2, PM10, and
PM2. 5) has been associated with respiratory risk. However, evidence on the risk of chronic …

Background Acute myocardial infarction is triggered by various factors, such as physical
exertion, stressful events, heavy meals, or increases in air pollution. However, the …

Background: Many studies have reported associations between ambient particulate matter
(PM) and adverse health effects, focused on either short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) …

ABSTRACT Nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), sulfur dioxide (SO 2), and carbon monoxide are
important ambient air pollutants. High-intensity, confined space exposure to NO 2 has …
