Respiratory and Cardiovascular Effects of Metals in Ambient Particulate Matter: A Critical Review
There is a large body of community-level epidemiologic evidence showing positive associations between increases in morbidity and mortality from respiratory and cardiovascular causes, and increases in the mass of ambient particulate matter (PM) in air in the preceding 1–3 days (Dockery and Pope 1994; Schwartz and Morris 1995; Laden et al. 2000). The evidence has been sufficiently convincing to support the development of ambient air quality standards and regulations to reduce air particulate emissions in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Ambient PM is a dynamic and complex mixture that varies in composition over both time and location; and, it is not clear which components of ambient PM are most active in producing respiratory and cardiovascular health effects. Identifying which components of ambient PM present the greatest risk is potentially important for refining strategies to protect public health (Grahame and Schlesinger 2007).
