Reducing the Pro-ischaemic Effects of Air Pollution Exposure Using a Simple Face Mask
Air pollution is a major cause of cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. The exact components of air pollution that underlie the cardiovascular effects are not yet known, but combustion-derived particulate matter is suspected…

Blood Pressure, Heart Rate Variability
The Cardiovascular Benefits of Reducing Personal Exposure to Air Pollution
Exposure to air pollution is an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and is associated with increased blood pressure, reduced heart rate variability, endothelial dysfunction and myocardial ischaemia.
