Fine particle pollution a threat to the cardiovascular health of Californians
Three new studies show fine particles linked to health risks
12/8/11, California Air Resources Board
SACRAMENTO - Three new studies released today by the California Air Resources Board reveal that exposure to airborne fine-particulate matter significantly elevates the risk for premature deaths from heart disease in older adults and elevates incidence of strokes among post-menopausal women. Heart disease is the number one killer in California and is responsible for approximately 35% of annual deaths.
