Coarse Particulate Air Pollution and Daily Mortality: A Global Study in 205 Cities
Liu, C; Cai, J; Chen, R; Sera, F; Guo, Y; Tong, S; Li, S; Lavigne, E; Correa, PM; Ortega, NV; Orru, H; Maasikmets, M; Jaakkola, JJK; Ryti, NRationale: The associations between ambient coarse particulate matter (PM2.5-10) and daily mortality are not fully understood on a global scale. Objectives: To evaluate the short-term associations between PM2.5-10 and total, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality across multiple countries/regions worldwide. Methods: We collected daily mortality (total, cardiovascular, and respiratory) and air pollution data ...
The burden of heat-related mortality attributable to recent human-induced clima...
Vicedo-Cabrera, AM; Scovronick, N; Sera, F; Royé, D; Schneider, R; Tobias, A; Astrom, C; Guo, Y; Honda, Y; Hondula, DM; Abrutzky, R; Tong, SClimate change affects human health; however, there have been no large-scale, systematic efforts to quantify the heat-related human health impacts that have already occurred due to climate change. Here, we use empirical data from 732 locations in 43 countries to estimate the mortality burdens associated with the additional heat exposure that has resulted from recent human-induced warming, during the period 1991...
