Short-term exposure to ambient ozone and cardiovascular mortality in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Xianwei Guo et al.

Summary: Air pollution in China is a significant public health concern, and this study reveals that short-term exposure to ambient ozone is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in the Chinese population. Efforts to control ozone exposure are needed to improve cardiovascular health in China.

Short-term effects of air pollution on respiratory diseases among young children in Wuhan city, China

Zeng-Hui Huang et al.

Summary: This study found a significant association between air pollution and respiratory diseases, especially pneumonia, among young children. The risk of hospitalization for pneumonia was higher with increased concentrations of PM2.5 and NO2, and the risk was influenced by factors such as gender, age, season, and residential location.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of intraday effects of ambient air pollution and temperature on cardiorespiratory morbidities: First few hours of exposure matters to life

Keyu Wu et al.

Summary: This study provides evidence that there is an increased risk of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases within a few hours after exposure to air pollution or temperature. Exposure to particulate matter, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases within hours, while the risk of respiratory diseases increases within hours to a day. Acute and highly lethal diseases such as myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest show an increased risk within a shorter time frame. In addition, exposure to high temperatures also increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Association of short-term exposure to air pollution with emergency visits for respiratory diseases in children

Miao He et al.

Summary: Air pollutants have harmful effects on children's health, especially on pneumonia and asthma. Different air pollutants have varying impacts on emergency department visits for different respiratory diseases, with girls being more affected. NO2 and PM10 are important risk indicators for respiratory diseases in children.

Associations of short-term exposure to air pollution and emergency department visits for pediatric asthma in Shanghai, China

Lijuan Liu et al.

Summary: Short-term exposure to air pollutants (PM2.5, NO2, SO2, and O-3) in Shanghai, China may increase the risk of pediatric asthma exacerbations. The association of NO2 remained robust in the two-pollutant models, while older age and warm seasons exacerbated these associations.

Intraday effects of outdoor air pollution on acute upper and lower respiratory infections in Australian children

Jian Cheng et al.

Summary: This study found that exposure to high concentrations of air pollution within 24 hours increased the risk of AURI and ALRI in children, with PM2.5, O3, and NO2 exposure associated with different types of respiratory infections. Cold season and night-time pollution had greater effects on AURI, while greater risk of ALRI was seen in warm season and daytime.

Jian Cheng et al.

Summary: Short-term exposure to air pollution can increase the risk of acute myocardial infarction, especially after exposure to particulate matters like PM2.5 and PM10. There was no significant modification effect by age, gender, season, or day/night time, except that PM2.5 had a greater impact on EDVs for AMI during night-time compared to daytime.

Respiratory mortality associated with ozone in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis*

Yifan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that for every 10-mg/m3 increase in ozone concentration, respiratory mortality in China significantly increased by 0.55%. Variations were observed in combined estimates between regions and lag structures, with higher mortality estimates for the northern population compared to the southern population. Single-day lags had a larger combined effect than multi-day lags.
