Study Links Air Quality to Cardiovascular Health
Long-term exposure to air pollution significantly increases risk of heart disease, according to comprehensive 20-year study.
A landmark 20-year study involving over 100,000 participants has established a clear link between air quality and cardiovascular health. Researchers found that individuals living in areas with high air pollution levels had a 30% increased risk of developing heart disease.
The study tracked participants across multiple cities, measuring exposure to particulate matter and other pollutants. Results suggest that improving air quality could prevent thousands of heart disease cases annually. Public health officials are calling for stricter air quality regulations based on these findings.
