A systematic review and meta-analysis of intraday effects of ambient air pollution and temperature on cardiorespiratory morbidities: First few hours of exposure matters to life.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A growing number of studies have reported an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and respiratory disease (RD) within hours after exposure to ambient air pollution or temperature. We assemble published evidence on the sub-daily associations of CVD and RD with ambient air pollution and temperature.

Methods

Databases of PubMed and Web of Science were searched for original case-crossover and time-series designs of English articles examining the intra-day effects of ambient air pollution [particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM_2.5), ≤10 μm (PM₁₀), 2.5-10μm (PM_10-2.5), and < 7 μm (SPM), O₃, SO₂, NO₂, CO, and NO] and temperatures (heat and cold) on cardiorespiratory diseases wit
