Integrated risks from air pollution and climate extremes: synergistic effects of ozone, heat, and humidity on cardiovascular mortality
O<sub>3</sub> exposure significantly increases cardiovascular mortality, with risks amplified by high temperature and moderate humidity. These findings highlight the necessity of integrating climate interactions into region-specific air quality policies and public health warnings.
