Association Between Nitrogen Dioxide Pollution and Cause-Specific Mortality in China: Cross-Sectional Time Series Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) has been frequently linked to a range of diseases and associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity worldwide. However, there is limited evidence regarding the risk of NO₂ on a spectrum of causes of mortality. Moreover, adjustment for potential confounders in NO₂ analysis has been insufficient, and the spatial resolution of exposure assessment has been limited.

Objective

This study aimed to quantitatively assess the relationship between short-term NO₂ exposure and death from a range of causes by adjusting for potential confounders in Guangzhou, China, and determine the modifying effect of gender and age.

Methods

A time series study was conducted on 413,703 deaths that occurred in Gua
