Article Abstract
Using generalised linear models (GLMs) with a Poisson link, this study analysed the short-term effect of NO, ozone, PM and PM on the daily number of emergency hospital admissions due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), acute cerebrovascular disease, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischaemic heart disease (IHD). The impact of the minimum daily temperature in cold waves and maximum daily temperature in heat waves was likewise analysed. Specific dose-response functions were calculated for each province and cause of admission considered. We used random effects mixed models to analyse the relationship between the percentage of admissions in each province and the following provincial variables: income level; number of inhabitants; population percentage aged 65 years and over and percentage of women. Our results indicated that in Spain there were 10,167 (95%CI: 3.679, 16.554) emergency CVD-related annual admissions attributable to the variables considered, which accounted for 7.7% of total annual CVD-related admissions in Spain and broke down as follows: 6.9% attributable to air pollution in general, and NO and O in particular, and 0.8% attributable to extreme temperatures, especially during cold waves. A similar pattern could be observed for the specific causes. With respect to the percentage of CVD-related admissions attributable to air pollution, higher income level was a protective element and age over 65 years was a risk factor for the percentage of the population concerned. Air pollution is a risk factor for short-term emergency hospital admissions due to CVD in Spain, with the effect NO and O being especially noteworthy, in terms of all CVD-related causes and the specific causes considered. The impact of extreme temperatures is of a lower order of magnitude than that of air pollution, and the effect of the maximum daily temperature in heat waves on CVD is extremely small.

This study introduces a back filter installed at the end of the exhaust pipe of city buses. The impact of the metal type used in its construction on the absorption of suspended particles and the reduction of sulfides in diesel engine exhaust gases is investigated. The back filter is constructed from three metals: copper, zinc, and nickel.

Smoke from extreme wildfires in Canada adversely affected air quality in many regions in 2023. Here we use satellite observations, machine learning and a chemical transport model to quantify global and regional PM (particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter) exposure and human health impacts related to the 2023 Canadian wildfires.

The potential of PM to cause lung cancer has been well established; however, evidence regarding which specific components are responsible remains limited. We investigated dissolved organic matter (DOM) in PM using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and cellular DNA damage assays to elucidate molecular composition and sources of carcinogenic components. Our analysis revealed hundreds of genotoxic compounds, with condensed aromatic amines predominating in number, abundance, and contribution to overall genotoxicity.

Objective: To describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of individuals exposed to smoking or biomass smoke and followed at primary health care (PHC) centers across three states in Brazil.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional multicenter study including patients followed at any of four PHC centers in Brazil. Patients ≥ 35 years of age who were smokers or former smokers, or were exposed to biomass smoke were included, the exception being those with physical/mental disabilities and those who were pregnant.
