“Air Pollution Increases Heart Attacks”
According to the article, which discusses a study presented at the Acute Cardiac Care Congress 2013 by Dr Savina Nodari of Brescia, Italy, “The study found a significant association between PM10 levels and admission for acute cardiovascular events such as acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, worsening heart failure, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and ventricular arrhythmias. The effect was linear, with a 3% increase in admissions for every 10 microgram increase in PM10.”
