Association between long-term exposure to low ambient PM2.5 and cardiovascular hospital admissions: A UK Biobank study
We found positive associations between long-term exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> and multiple cardiovascular outcomes for different exposure windows. The cardiovascular risk tends to rise even at exposure concentrations below 12-15 μg/m<sup>3</sup>, indicating high risk below UK national and international thresholds.
