Interactive Effect of Residential Greenness and Air Pollution on Mortality in China

Acute effect of ambient air pollution on stroke mortality in the China air pollution and health effects study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There have been no multicity studies on the acute effects of air pollution on stroke mortality in China. This study was undertaken to examine the associations between daily stroke mortality and outdoor air pollution (particulate matter <10 μm in aerodynamic diameter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide) in 8 Chinese cities. METHODS We used Poisson regression models wit...

Linking stroke mortality with air pollution, income, and greenness in northwest Florida: an ecological geographical study

BACKGROUND Relatively few studies have examined the association between air pollution and stroke mortality. Inconsistent and inclusive results from existing studies on air pollution and stroke justify the need to continue to investigate the linkage between stroke and air pollution. No studies have been done to investigate the association between stroke and greenness. The objective of this study...

Effect of air pollution on daily mortality in Hong Kong.

In different weather conditions, constituents and concentrations of pollutants, personal exposure, and biologic responses to air pollution may vary. In this study we assessed the effects of four air pollutants on mortality in both cool and warm seasons in Hong Kong, a subtropical city. Daily counts of mortality, due to all nonaccidental causes, and cardiovascular and respiratory diseases were m...
