Numerous studies have reported adverse health effects of ambient air pollution on circulatory health outcomes mainly based on single-pollutant models. However, limited studies have focused on adjusted effect of multi-pollutant exposures on public health. This study aimed to examine short-term effects of three common air pollutants-ground-level ozone (ozone), nitrogen dioxide (NO), and fine particulate matter (PM)-through multi-pollutant models for mixed effect of adjustment. Daily data (circulatory hospitalization and mortality) and hourly data (air pollutants and temperature) were collected for 24 Canadian cities for 2001-2012. We applied generalized additive over-dispersion Poisson regression models with 1, 2, or 3 pollutants for city-specific risks, and Bayesian hierarchical models for national risks. This study found little mixed effect of adjustment through multi-pollutant models (ozone and/or NO and/or PM) for circulatory hospitalization or mortality in Canada for 2001-2012, indicating that the 1-pollutant model did not result in considerable under- or over-estimates. It seemed weak-to-moderate correlations among air pollutants did not change the significant effect of one air pollutant after accounting for others. Inconsistent findings between other previous studies and this study indicate the need of comparable study design for multi-pollutant effect analysis.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that air pollution exposure might diminish the cognitive health of older adults. Although many studies have reported that air pollution is associated with increased dementia risk, associations with the process of cognitive decline have been more heterogeneous.
Method: We used biennial data between 2000 to 2016 from respondents>65 years in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a national, population-based cohort in the United States, to study associations of air pollution with cognitive decline.
Cognitive impairment and dementia have long been recognized as growing public health threats. Studies have found that air pollution is a potential risk factor for dementia, but the literature remains inconclusive. This study aimed to evaluate the association between three major air pollutants (i.

As the ozone (O) pollution becomes severe in China, it poses a threat to human health. Currently, studies on the impacts of O on different regions and groups are limited. This review systematically summarizes the relationship between O pollution and mortality and morbidity across the nation, regions, and cities in China, with a focus on the regional and group-specific studies.

Air pollution significantly contributes to the global burden of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. While single source/compound studies dominate current research, long-term, multi-pollutant studies are crucial to understanding the health impacts of environmental aerosols. Our study aimed to use the first air-liquid interface (ALI) aerosol exposure system adapted for long-term in vitro exposures for ambient air in vitro exposure.

Article Synopsis
- Air pollution is a public health risk linked to serious health outcomes, and this study investigates how it interacts with viral exposure to influence influenza hospital visits in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
- Researchers analyzed seven years of data on daily influenza-related hospital visits, examining these in relation to various air pollutants, with additional factors considered, such as temperature and humidity.
- The findings showed that air pollution worsens the impact of viral exposure, especially in winter and among children under five, indicating a significant health risk that needs to be addressed.
