Short-Term PM2.5 Exposure and Mortality in Older Adults with Asthma in South Korea
This study provides epidemiological evidence of an association between short-term exposure to PM2.5 and an increased mortality risk among older adults with asthma. These findings highlight the need for targeted preventive management strategies to mitigate health risks associated with short-term PM2.5 exposure, particularly for those vulnerable to air pollution.
