Ambient Particulate Air Pollution and Daily Mortality in 652 Cities

Abstract

Our data show independent associations between short-term exposure to PM<sub>10</sub> and PM<sub>2.5</sub> and daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality in more than 600 cities across the globe. These data reinforce the evidence of a link between mortality and PM concentration established in regional and local studies. (Funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and others.).
