The available evidence on the effects of ambient air pollution on cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs) has increased substantially. In this umbrella review, we summarized the current …

Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are aerosols with an aerodynamic diameter of 0.1 µm (100 nm) or
less. There is a growing concern in the public health community about the contribution of …

Background: Short-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been linked with daily
hospitalization and mortality from acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, the …

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 …

Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components, each of which has
detrimental effects on human health. While the composition of air pollution varies greatly …

The cardiovascular effects of inhaled particle matter (PM) are responsible for a substantial
morbidity and mortality attributed to air pollution. Ultrafine particles, like those in diesel …

Crude oils have been primary sources of energy and fuels, such as petrodiesel. However,
significant public concerns about the sustainability, price fluctuations, and adverse …

Background: A rich body of literature exists that has demonstrated adverse human health
effects following exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM), and there is strong support …

An escalating body of epidemiologic and clinical research provides compelling evidence
that exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution contributes to the development of …

Significance: Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is a leading cause of global cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Understanding the biological action of PM is of particular importance …
