AbstractGrowing evidence suggests that long-term air pollution exposure is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, few studies have investigated air pollution below current regulatory limits, and causal evidence is limited. We use a double negative control approach to examine the association between long-term exposure to air pollution at low concentration and cardiovascular hospitalizations among US Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥65 years between 2000 and 2016.

Yaguang Wei, research associate, Joel Schwartz, professor of environmental epidemiology Department of Environmental Health, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA WHO’s tightening of its air quality guidelines is beneficial to health and the environment, but we must go further to reduce air pollution, argue Yaguang Wei and Joel Schwartz Numerous studies have identified fine particulate matter (PM)2.5, a critical component of air pollution, as a risk factor for...

Associations between gaseous pollutant exposure and stillbirth have focused on exposures averaged over trimesters or gestation. We investigated the association between short-term increases in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) concentrations and stillbirth risk among a national sample of 116 788 Medicaid enrollees from 2000 to 2014.

Most temperature–mortality studies examine short-term exposures using time-series data. These studies are limited by regional adaptation, short-term mortality displacement, and an inability to observe longer-term relationships in temperature and mortality.
