Black Carbon Air Pollution and Incident Mortality Among the Advance-Aged Adults in China: A Prospective Cohort Study
BC is a strong predictor of mortality, with a higher effect estimate compared with total PM2.5 and other PM2.5 components, particularly in rural populations. Although total PM2.5 has been a target indicator of clean air policy interventions, our results indicate that BC concentration should be routinely measured, reported, and studied to improve public health.
