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 …

Background Air-pollution and weather exposure beyond certain thresholds have serious
effects on public health. Yet, there is lack of information on wider aspects including the role …

Importance The US Environmental Protection Agency is required to reexamine its National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) every 5 years, but evidence of mortality risk is …

Rationale: Evidence concerning the acute health effects of air pollution caused by fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) in developing countries is quite limited. Objectives: To evaluate …

No nationwide studies have examined the associations between mortality risk and PM1 (PM
with an aerodynamic diameter of< 1 μm) due to the scarcity of monitoring data of PM1. On …

Background Few studies have explored PM 10's connection with specific respiratory and
cardiovascular emergency department admissions (EDAs). This study aimed to examine the …

While the literature strongly supports a positive association between particulate matter with
diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) exposure and heart failure (HF), there is uncertainty regarding …

Purpose Growing evidence implicates ambient air pollutants in the development of major
chronic diseases and premature mortality. However, epidemiologic evidence linking air …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the health effects associated with the exposure to
ground-level of particulate matters with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) on citizens …

Background/aim Daily air pollution has been linked with mortality from urban studies.
Associations in rural areas are still unclear and there is growing interest in testing the role …
