Long-Term Exposure to Outdoor Ultrafine Particles and Black Carbon and Effects on Mortality in Montreal and Toronto, Canada.
Research report (Health Effects Institute) 20240701 217
<h4>Introduction</h4>Numerous studies support an important relationship between long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate air pollution (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) and both nonaccidental and cause-specific mortality. Less is known about the long-term health consequences of other traffic pollutants, including ultrafine particles (UFPs, <0.1 μm) and black carbon (BC), which are often present at elevated concentrations in urban areas but are not currently regulated. Knowledge is lacking largely because ...[more]
