Effects of fine particulate matter air pollution on cardiovascular mortality in Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 2020 to 2024
Our study provides clear evidence that elevated PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations significantly contribute to cardiovascular mortality in Dhaka city. Therefore, reducing PM<sub>2.5</sub> through urgent and sustained policy action, targeted emission control, and improved monitoring could substantially lower CVD mortality and mitigate the growing health impacts of air pollution in urban Bangladesh.
