Long-Term Ozone Exposure and Mortality
New England Journal of Medicine, 03/12/09
Jerrett M et al. - Although many studies have linked elevations in tropospheric ozone to adverse health outcomes, the effect of long-term exposure to ozone on air pollution–related mortality remains uncertain. In this large study, the authors were not able to detect an effect of ozone on the risk of death from cardiovascular causes when the concentration of PM2.5 was taken into account. The authors demonstrate a significant increase in the risk of death from respiratory causes in association with an increase in ozone concentration.
