Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter

Richard T. Burnett, +54 more
TL;DR: PM2.5 exposure may be related to additional causes of death than the five considered by the GBD and that incorporation of risk information from other, nonoutdoor, particle sources leads to underestimation of disease burden, especially at higher concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution and emergency department visits for cardiac and respiratory conditions: a multi-city time-series analysis

TL;DR: In this large multicenter analysis, daily average concentrations of CO and NO2 exhibited the most consistent associations with ED visits for cardiac conditions, while ozone exhibited the largest associations with visits for respiratory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air Pollution and Emergency Department Visits for Suicide Attempts in Vancouver, Canada

TL;DR: Positive and statistically significant associations among carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM10) for all suicide attempts in the cold period are confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution and daily emergency department visits for depression.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that ED visits for depressive disorder correlate with ambient air pollution is supported, and that a large majority of this pollution results from combustion of fossil fuels (e.g. in motor vehicles).
Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution and emergency department visits for depression in Edmonton, Canada

TL;DR: The findings provide support for the hypothesis that ED visits for depression are associated with exposure to ambient air pollution.
