Abstract
Many studies have shown that ambient particulate air pollution (PM) is associated with increased risk of hospital admissions and deaths for cardiovascular or respiratory causes around the world. In general these have been analysed in association with PM(10) and ozone, whereas PM(2.5) is now the particle measure of greatest health and regulatory concern. And little has been published on associations of hospital admissions and PM components.
