The exploration of the link between road traffic pollution and increased mortality risk.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaNov 9 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in Toxics, researchers analyzed the long-term mortality impacts related to exposure to particulate matter of diameter ≤2.5 mm , PM10, black carbon , and nitrogen oxides among Swedish individuals between 1991 and 2016.
About the study In the present study, researchers determined the links between PM2.5, PM10, NOx, and BC air pollutant long-term exposures and natural mortality in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Cohort cohort, diagnosed using International Classification of Diseases, tenth revision codes. Modeled pollutant concentrations denoted the cumulative traffic-exhaust emissions, non-exhaust emissions , shipping, heating, households, industry, and transport emissions over long distances.
Results Of 30,438 individuals, 17,551 survived through the study period, 12,663 died, and 264 shifted out of the study location. The mean NOx concentrations during the study ranged from 25 to 30 µg/m3. Unspecified-type PM does not denote a uniform estimate of particles concerning their physical properties and chemical composition. The particles may originate from various sources with spatiotemporal variations in a single city.
