TL;DR: The data show independent associations between short-term exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 and daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality in more than 600 cities across the globe, and reinforce the evidence of a link between mortality and PM concentration established in regional and local studies.

TL;DR: In this article, the association between wildfire-related PM2·5 exposure and mortality was examined using a quasi-Poisson time series model in each city considering both the current-day and lag effects, and the effect estimates were then pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the association between short-term exposure to ambient CO and daily mortality in a multicity, multicountry setting and assessed the overall shape of the exposure-response curve and evaluated the possibility of a threshold below which health is not affected.

TL;DR: In this article, a time series study has been performed comparing the mortality attributable to atmospheric carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) in Santiago (Chile) and Buenos Aires (Argentina).

TL;DR: For example, el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente situan alrededor de 10 millones de chilenos expuestos a niveles deletereos de contaminantes atmosfericos, especialmente material particulado fino, in distintas ciudades del pais (1) as discussed by the authors.
