Joint effect of heat and air pollution on mortality in 620 cities of 36 countries
Stafoggia, M; Michelozzi, P; Schneider, A; Armstrong, B; Scortichini, M; Rai, M; Achilleos, S; Alahmad, B; Analitis, A; Åström, C; Bell, ML; Calleja, NBackground The epidemiological evidence on the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on mortality is still inconsistent. Objectives To investigate the interaction between heat and ambient air pollution on daily mortality in a large dataset of 620 cities from 36 countries. Methods We used daily data on all-cause mortality, air temperature, particulate matter ≤ 10 μm (PM10), PM ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5), nitr...
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 ...
