Background Up until now, evidence pertaining to the short-term effects of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is scarce in China. In this study, we aim to estimate the association between short-term exposure to PM2.5 and hospitalizations for total and cause-specific CVD in Lanzhou of China. Methods Daily counts of cardiovascular admissions were obtained from three large general hospitals in Lanzhou, China between 2014 and 2019. Air quality and meteorological data were obtained from the monitoring stations nearest to the admitting hospitals. We utilized Quasi-Poisson time-series regressions with distributed lag nonlinear models (DLNM) to assess the association between PM2.5 and CVD admitted in the three general hospitals. A stratified analysis was also conducted for age, sex, and disease subcategories. Results PM2.5 was positively correlated with daily admissions for total or other cause-specific CVD under different lag patterns. For every 10 μg/m3 increase in the PM2.5 concentration, the relative risk of daily admissions for total CVD, ischemic heart disease (IHD), heart rhythm disturbances (HRD), heart failure (HF), and cerebrovascular disease (CD) was: 1.011 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.001–1.020] in lag01; 1.020 (95% CI 1.004–1.036) in lag07; 1.013 (95% CI 1.001–1.026) in lag7; 1.018 (95% CI 1.005–1.038) in lag1; and 1.007 (95% CI 1.001–1.018) in lag1. Both low and high temperatures increased the risk of cardiovascular hospitalization. No differences were found after stratification by gender and age. We found an almost linear relationship between the exposure to PM2.5 and cause-specific CVD admissions with no threshold effect. Males as well as the elderly, aged ≥ 65 years, were more vulnerable to PM 2.5 exposure. Conclusions Our results have demonstrated that PM2.5 has adverse impacts on cardiovascular hospitalizations in Lanzhou, especially on IHD.

“…Las PM2.5 son el contaminante primario, que en algunos estudios aparece vinculado con los ingresos hospitalarios de emergencia, por problemas respiratorios (Linares y Díaz, 2009). En Ciudad de México se ha documentado la asociación entre la contaminación del aire ambiente y las asistencias a los centros de emergencias cardiovasculares (Ugalde- Resano et al, 2022). Aquellas personas que se desempeñan en trabajos al aire libre contaminado, o aquellas que fuman, acumulan factores de riesgos.…”

[Introducción]: Este estudio plantea un desafío para las acciones gubernamentales de cambio climático y discute las emisiones generadas por la quema de basura en muchos vecindarios de la ciudad de Posadas (Argentina). Más allá del tránsito vehicular y las industrias que tiene la ciudad, la calidad del aire es poco segura y la frecuencia de humo está relacionada a una práctica cultural: la quema de basura. [Objetivo]: El trabajo tuvo como objetivo conocer e identificar las prácticas de quemas de los vecinos, la gestión de los riesgos y analizar las zonas más críticas de periferia sur de la ciudad. [Metodología]: La información se obtuvo a partir de una toma de muestra de material particulado PM 2.5 en un conjunto de barrios de la periferia sur, así como de la realización de entrevistas a vecinos. [Resultados]: Se analiza, como independientemente de la legislación y del sistema de recolección de residuos; los vecinos queman en veredas, en terrenos baldíos, en patios de las casas, en calles poco usadas, una problemática que no está informada, controlada, ni regulada. [Conclusiones]: Se advierte que, al margen de la cultura de manipular la basura con fuego, la quema es un problema multidimensional, ya que afecta la calidad del aire y conlleva efectos nocivos sobre la salud pública en el mediano y largo plazo.

Extensive researches have linked air pollutants with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and respiratory diseases (RD), however, there is limited evidence on causal effects of air pollutants on morbidity of CVD or RD with comorbidities, particularly diabetes mellitus in elder patients. We included hospital admissions for CVD or RD among elder (≥65 years) diabetic patients between 2014 and 2019 in Beijing. A time‐stratified case‐crossover design based on negative‐control exposure was used to assess causal associations of short‐term exposure to air pollutants with CVD and RD among diabetic patients with the maximum lag of 7 days. A random forest regression model was used to calculate the contribution magnitude of air pollutants. A total of 493,046 hospital admissions were recorded. Per 10 μg/m3 uptick in PM1, PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, O3, and 1 mg/m3 in CO was associated with 0.29 (0.05, 0.53), 0.14 (0.02, 0.26), 0.06 (0.00, 0.12), 0.36 (0.01, 0.70), 0.21 (0.02, 0.40), −0.08 (−0.25, 0.09), and 4.59 (0.56, 8.61) causal effect estimator for admission of CVD among diabetic patients, corresponding to 0.12 (0.05, 0.18), 0.09 (0.05, 0.13), 0.05, 0.23 (0.06, 0.41), 0.10 (0.02, 0.19), −0.04 (−0.06, −0.01), and 3.91(1.81, 6.01) causal effect estimator for RD among diabetic patients. The effect of gaseous pollutants was higher than particulate pollutants in random forest model. Short‐term exposure to air pollution was causally associated with increased admission of CVD and RD among elder diabetic patients. Gaseous pollutants had a greater contribution to CVD and RD among elder diabetic patients.
