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
