The study found that PM pollutants had a significant association with cardiovascular disease mortality during the study period. The findings suggested that PM pollutants have a substantial impact on increasing cardiovascular disease mortality in Shanghai. Moreover, the impacts of air pollution on health may be altered by factors such as season, sex, age and educational levels.
