Long-Term Inhalable Particles and Other Air Pollutants Related to Mortality in Nonsmokers

TL;DR: Long-term ambient concentrations of inhalable particles less than 10 microm in diameter (PM10) and other air pollutants-total suspended sulfates, sulfur dioxide, ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide-were related to 1977-1992 mortality in a cohort of 6,338 nonsmoking California Seventh-day Adventists.
Long-term concentrations of ambient air pollutants and incident lung cancer in California adults: results from the AHSMOG study.Adventist Health Study on Smog.
TL;DR: Increased risks of incident lung cancer were associated with elevated long-term ambient concentrations of PM10 and SO2 in both genders and with O3 in males, and the gender differences for the O3 and PM10 results appeared to be partially due to gender differences in exposure.

The association between fatal coronary heart disease and ambient particulate air pollution: Are females at greater risk?
Lie Hong Chen,Synnove F. Knutsen,David Shavlik,W. Lawrence Beeson,Floyd Petersen,Mark Ghamsary,David E. Abbey +6 more
TL;DR: A positive association with fatal CHD was found with all three PM fractions in females but not in males, and the risk estimates were strengthened when adjusting for gaseous pollutants, especially O3, and were highest for PM2.5.

Relationships of mortality with the fine and coarse fractions of long-term ambient PM10 concentrations in nonsmokers.
TL;DR: It is concluded that previously observed associations of long-term ambient PM10 concentration with mortality for males were best explained by a relationship of mortality with the fine fraction of PM10 rather than with the coarse fraction ofPM10.

Chronic respiratory symptoms associated with estimated long-term ambient concentrations of fine particulates less than 2.5 microns in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) and other air pollutants.
TL;DR: Estimated mean concentrations of PM2.5 were associated with increasing severity of respiratory symptoms related to general airway obstructive disease, chronic bronchitis, and asthma and it was felt that the observed relationships could be due to surrogate relationships with other ambient pollutants.
