A cross-disciplinary evaluation of evidence for multipollutant effects on cardiovascular disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The current single-pollutant approach to regulating ambient air pollutants is effective at protecting public health, but efficiencies may be gained by addressing issues in a multipollutant context since multiple pollutants often have common sources and individuals are exposed to more than one pollutant at a time.

Objective

We performed a cross-disciplinary review of the effects of multipollutant exposures on cardiovascular effects.

Methods

A broad literature search for references including at least two criteria air pollutants (particulate matter [PM], ozone [O₃], oxides of nitrogen, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide) was conducted. References were culled based on scientific discipline then searched for terms related to cardiovascular disease. Most m
