Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and incidence of cerebrovascular events: results from 11 European cohorts within the ESCAPE project (Publications)
(ESCAPE). The exposures were: PM2.5 (particulate matter [PM] below 2.5 microm in diameter), coarse PM (PM between 2.5 and 10 microm), PM10 (PM below 10 microm), PM2.5 absorbance, nitrogen oxides, and two [...] estimation. RESULTS: 99,446 subjects were included, 3,086 of whom developed stroke. A 5-mug/m3 increase in annual PM2.5 exposure was associated with 19% increased risk of incident stroke (hazard ratio [HR] [...] association with PM2.5 was apparent among those aged 60+ years (HR = 1.40, 95%...
Exposure to ambient air pollution and cognitive decline: results of the prospective Three-City cohort study (Publications)
and B). Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and black carbon (BC) at the participants’ residential address during the 5 years before the baseline visit was estimated with [...] 0), and 61.5% were women. At baseline, the median MMSE score was 28 (IQR: 3). Global cognition decline, assessed with the MMSE, was slightly accelerated among participants with higher PM2.5 exposure: one [...] one IQR increment in PM2.5 (1.5 µg/m3) was associated with accelerated decline...
Coarse particulate air pollution and daily mortality: a global study in 205 cities (Publications)
ambient coarse particulate matter (PM2.5-10) and daily mortality is not fully understood at a global scale. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the short-term associations between PM2.5-10 and total, cardiovascular, and [...] exposure to ambient PM2.5-10 and total, cardiovascular and respiratory mortality, suggesting the need to establish a unique guideline or regulatory limit for daily concentrations of PM2.5-10. [...] respiratory) and air pollution data from 205 cities in 20 countries/regions....

Short-term effects of particulate matter on total mortality during Saharan dust outbreaks: a case-crossover analysis in Madrid (Spain) (Publications)
given consistent results. METHODS: We investigated the effects of coarse (PM(10-2.5)) and fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)) in Madrid on total mortality during Saharan dust and non-dust days using a cas [...] PM(10-2.5) raised total mortality by 2.8% compared with 0.6% during non-dust days (P-value for interaction=0.0165). CONCLUSION: We found evidence of stronger adverse health effects of PM(10-2.5) during [...] during Saharan dust outbreaks effects for impacted European populations, but not...
