Abstract:
A series of epidemiological and experimental studies demonstrate a positive and significant association between exposure to particulate matter and cardiovascular-related incidence and hospitalization. Several possible mechanisms have been proposed,including vascular dysfunction,atherogenesis,arrhythmogenesis and oxidative stress and inflammation. So far the studies on the effect of particulate matter derived from dust events on cardiovascular diseases are limited,and different conclusions are drawn. The advances in recent studies were reviewed in this paper,and suggestions for further research were made.
