Short‐Term Effect of Ambient Air Pollution on Daily Mortality in Three Jordanian Cities: A Time‐Series Study
associations among females in Zarqa. This first national time-series study for Jordan identifies an acute mortality risk from particulate pollution in Amman and suggests inter-city heterogeneity, likely driven by differences in particle composition, sources, exposure, and standards exceedances. These findings support particulate-focused control measures and enhanced risk communication for vulnerable groups.
