Ischemic heart disease mortality due to fine particulate matter in Seoul between 2016 and 2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) continues to rank among the leading global causes of mortality, consistently linked to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM_2.5). Despite a declining trend in the annual average PM_2.5 concentration in Seoul, they still fail to meet the air quality standards set by the Korean Ministry of Environment (15 µg/m³). We aim to estimate the IHD mortality attributable to PM_2.5 and the health benefits derived from reducing PM_2.5 concentration in Seoul, South Korea, between 2016 and 2020.

Methods

We utilized machine-learning-based PM_2.5 data, Global Exposure Mortality Model, mortality data, and population data to estimate the burden of IHD mortality attributed to PM
