The effect of secondary inorganic aerosols soot and the geographical origin of air mass on acute myocardial infarction hospitalisations in Gothenburg Sweden during 1985–2010: a case-crossover study

摘要

BackgroundThe relative importance of different sources of air pollution for cardiovascular disease is unclear. The aims were to compare the associations between acute myocardial infarction (AMI) hospitalisations in Gothenburg, Sweden and 1) the long-range transported (LRT) particle fraction, 2) the remaining particle fraction, 3) geographical air mass origin, and 4) influence of local dispersion during 1985–2010.
