Components of particulate matter as potential risk factors for acute myocardial infarction
Short-term exposure to PM<sub>2.5</sub> is associated with an increased incidence of AMI. Future research prioritises the components of PM<sub>2.5</sub>, with particular focus on whether a decrease in black carbon concentrations can mitigate the risk of future air quality-related AMI.
