Disentangling impacts of multiple pollutants on acute cardiovascular events in New York city: A case-crossover analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ambient air pollution contributes to an estimated 6.67 million deaths annually, and has been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death. Short-term increases in air pollution have been associated with increased risk of CVD event, though relatively few studies have directly compared effects of multiple pollutants using fine-scale spatio-temporal data, thoroughly adjusting for co-pollutants and temperature, in an exhaustive citywide hospitals dataset, towards identifying key pollution sources within the urban environment to most reduce, and reduce disparities in, the leading cause of death worldwide.

Objectives

We aimed to examine multiple pollutants against multiple CVD diagnoses, across lag days, in models adjusted for co-pollutants and met
