Mixtures of long-term exposure to ambient air pollution, built environment and temperature and stroke incidence across Europe
CONCLUSIONS: We observed increased HRs for stroke with exposure to PM2.5, NO2 and BC, lower levels of greenness and higher impervious surface in single and combined exposure models.PMID:37598594 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108136

Association between long-term exposure to PM < sub > 2.5 < /sub > constituents and electrocardiographic abnormality: A nationwide longitudinal study in China
CONCLUSION: Differential associations between various constituents of PM2.5 and ECG abnormalities were found. The unequal toxicities for different chemical constituents of ambient particles on cardiovascular electrophysiological endpoints should be taken into consideration when considering the biological pathways linking PM2.5 and cardiovascular conditions.PMID:37572496 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108130

Incident risk and burden of cardiovascular diseases attributable to long-term NO < sub > 2 < /sub > exposure in Chinese adults
CONCLUSIONS: This study provided nationwide cohort evidence for elevated risks of CVD incidence associated with long-term ambient NO2 exposure among Chinese adults, particularly in urban areas and among overweight/obese individuals. Our findings highlighted that reducing NO2 exposure below 2021 WHO guideline could help prevent a substantial portion of incident CVD cases in China.PMID:37478679 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108060

Spatial assessment of the attributable burden of disease due to transportation noise in England
CONCLUSION: Transportation noise exposures contribute to a significant and unequal environmental disease burden in England. Omitting minor roads from the noise exposure modelling leads to underestimation of the disease burden.PMID:37390771 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.107966

Pollution from fine particulate matter and atherosclerosis: A narrative review
Environ Int. 2023 Apr 10;175:107923. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.107923. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAccording to the WHO, the entire global population is exposed to air pollution levels higher than recommended for health preservation. Air pollution is a complex mixture of nano- to micro-sized particles and gaseous components that poses a major global threat to public health. Among the most important air pollutants, causal associations have been established between particulate matter (PM), mainly < 2.5 μm, and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), i.e., hypertension, coronary artery disease, ischemic stroke, congestive heart...

Improved air quality from China's clean air actions alleviates health expenditure inequality
Environ Int. 2023 Feb 15;173:107831. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.107831. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClean air actions aimed at improving air quality in China have brought about significant health benefits, thereby generating substantial savings in air-pollution-related healthcare spending. Yet, uneven regional air quality improvements and economic developments may alter existing inequality in health expenditures in the context of scarce healthcare resources. Here, we developed an econometric model that resolves individual characteristics at the city level to examine the disparity of public health expenditures in air qual...

Association between household air pollution from solid fuel use and risk of chronic diseases and their multimorbidity among Chinese adults
CONCLUSIONS: HAP from solid fuel use is associated with a high risk of chronic multimorbidity in Chinese adults. Our findings provide important implications for reducing chronic disease burden by restricting solid fuel use.PMID:36413929 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2022.107635

The burden of heat-related stroke mortality under climate change scenarios in 22 East Asian cities
CONCLUSIONS: Climate change will exacerbate the burden of heat-related stroke mortality but with considerable geographical heterogeneity in East Asia.PMID:36323066 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2022.107602
