Fine particulate air pollution and mortality in 20 U.S. cities, 1987-1994

Article Abstract:

Fine particulate air pollution increases the death rate from all causes and especially from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. This was the conclusion of researchers who analyzed mortality rates in 20 US cities and compared the rates to levels of particulate matter, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Only particulate matter was consistently linked to higher death rates.

Fine particulate air pollution and hospital admission for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to estimate adverse effects of particulate air pollution on public health associated with cardiovascular and respiratory system. The findings indicate an ongoing threat to the health of the elderly population from air borne particles and provide a rationale for setting particulate matter(sub 2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standard that is protective of their health.
