The role of long-term fine particulate matter peaks in cardiovascular risk: an AIRCARD substudy
Our findings suggest that PM<sub>2.5</sub> peak exposure does not significantly increase the risk of MACE in this Danish population. These results challenge the hypothesis that PM<sub>2.5</sub> peaks over a long period are a determinant of cardiovascular risk. Further research is warranted to explore these relationships in different populations and to investigate potential mechanisms underlying the effects of air pollution peaks on cardiovascular health.
