Association between Airborne Fine Particulate Matter and Residents' Cardiovascular Diseases, Ischemic Heart Disease and Cerebral Vascular Disease Mortality in Areas with Lighter Air Pollution in China.

ABSTRACT: China began to carry out fine particulate matter (PM2.5) monitoring in 2013 and the amount of related research is low, especially in areas with lighter air pollution. This study aims to explore the association between PM2.5 and cardiovascular disease (CVD), ischemic heart disease (IHD) and cerebral vascular disease (EVD) mortality in areas with lighter air pollution. Data on resident mortality, air pollution and meteorology in Shenzhen during 2013⁻2015 were collected and analyzed using semi-parametric generalized additive models (GAM) with Poisson distribution of time series analysis. Six pollutants were measured at seven air quality monitoring sites, including PM2.5, PM10, SO₂, NO₂, CO and O₃. The PM2.5 daily average concentration was 35.0 ± 21.9 μg/m³; the daily average concentration ran
