Exposure to ambient air pollution is associated with several noncommunicable diseases, and it adversely affects the respiratory system and other organ systems. Several studies have investigated the underlying mechanisms of biological response to air pollutants using conventional techniques, but there is a lack of research on the effects of air pollution at the cellular level. This study developed a dual system that combines PM (particulate matter <2.

Current literature lacks information regarding impacts of green spaces on susceptibility to cardiovascular disease (CVD) related to harmful environmental exposures. The UK Biobank cohort study was utilized to investigate whether green spaces can mitigate risks associated with air pollutants, nighttime light, noise, and traffic intensity. Latent Profile Analysis was performed on green spaces and adverse environmental exposures in order to assess individual level exposure.
