The links of fine airborne particulate matter exposure to occurrence of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in Michigan, USA.

ABSTRACT: Air pollutants, particularly airborne particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5μm (PM2.5), have been linked to the increase in mortality and morbidity associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. In this study, we investigated the dose-risk relationships between PM2.5 concentrations and occurrences of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases as well as the confounding socioeconomic factors in Michigan, USA, where PM2.5 levels are generally considered acceptable. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between health outcome and annual ground-level PM2.5 concentrations of 82 counties in Michigan. The analyses revelated significant linear dose-response associations between PM2.5 concentrations and cardiovascular disease (CVD) hos
