- Abstract
Numerous epidemiology studies indicated that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) could cause chronic human health effects. However, long-term trends in PM2.5-related health effects across countries remain unclear. Hence, we aimed to explore the differences in long trend variations for PM2.5 mass concentration and PM2.5-related health effects in different countries. The PM2.5 data from AQLI (Air Quality Living Index) were selected to study the long-term trend of PM2.5 mass concentration variations (from 2010 to 2019). Meanwhile, PM2.5-related cardiovascular disease and PM2.5-related respiratory disease data from GBD (Global Burden of Disease) were selected to analyze the potential health effects of PM2.5 in different countries. The results indicated that the annual ambient PM2.5 mass concentration decreased in most counties in the last ten years. Meanwhile, the PM2.5-related cardiovascular and respiratory diseases rate (the number of deaths in hundred thousand people, data from GBD study) decreased in most countries except Japan and India. This inconsistent correlation between PM2.5 concentration and adverse PM2.5 health effects across countries deserves more attention.
