Abstract:
The mortality and disability of ischemic stroke are high.A number of epidemiological studies have confirrned that air pollutants can increase the prevalence or admission rate of ischemic stroke.Air pollutants mainly include sulfur dioxide,nitrogen dioxide,fime particles,carbon monoxide,and ozone.This article reviews the main sources of various major air pollutants,the effect of major air pollutants on the risk of ischemic stroke onset,and the possible mechanisms.
