Abstract
Fine particulate air pollution has been linked to cardiovascular disease, but previous studies have assessed only mortality and differences in exposure between cities. We examined the association of long-term exposure to particulate matter of less than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) with cardiovascular events.Keywords
