“…Our findings are the same as those of Kamouchi et al [25] and Kwon et al [26]. Yet the levels of combustion particulates (CO and NO2) do not differ during an ADS, a result that matches that of Yang et al [27].…”

Abstract:A case-crossover study examined how PM2.5 from Asian Dust Storms (ADS) affects the number of emergency room (ER) admissions for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and respiratory diseases (RDs). Our data indicated that PM2.5 concentration from ADS was highly correlated with ER visits for CVDs and RDs. The odds ratios (OR) increased by 2.92 (95% CI: 1.22-5.08) and 1.86 (95% CI: 1.30-2.91) per increase 10 µg/m 3 in PM2.5 levels, for CVDs and RDs, respectively. A 10 µg/m 3 increase in PM2.5 from ADSs was significantly associated with increase in ER visits for CVDs among those 65 years of age and older (an increase of 2.77 in OR) and for females (an increase of 3.09 in OR). In contrast, PM2.5 levels had a significant impact on RD ER visits among those under 65 years of age (OR=1.77). The risk of ER visits for CVDs increased on the day when the ADS occurred in Taiwan and the day after (lag 0 and lag 1); the corresponding risk increase for RDs only increased on the fifth day after the ADS (lag 5). In Taiwan's late winter and spring, the severity of ER visits for CVDs and RDs increases. Environmental protection agencies should employ an early warning system for ADS to reduce high-risk groups' exposure to PM2.5.

“…En general, los resultados de estos estudios son consistentes en el sentido de que la gran mayoría de ellos encuentran una asociación significativa en el corto plazo (es decir, entre el mismo día de la exposición y unos pocos días después) con los indicadores de mortalidad y morbilidad. Sin embargo existen menos pruebas científicas acerca del efecto que las partículas de polvo procedentes de zonas áridas o desérticas podrían tener sobre la salud 7,8,14,15,[26][27][28][29][30] .…”

Ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution is estimated to be responsible for 3.2 million deaths annually worldwide. Although many studies have demonstrated PM as a serious risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, less is known on its association with cerebrovascular events. Over the last decade, however, an increasing number of studies have provided data showing a relationship between PM exposure and ischemic stroke (IS). In this article, we will report on existing epidemiologic findings for an association between PM exposure and IS based on a systemic literature search. Thus, despite inconsistencies in the results, currently available data suggest that PM exposure is a risk factor for IS, especially in patients with preexisting illnesses. With regards to the mechanisms leading to PM-dependent vascular damage, in particular proinflammatory, prooxidative, as well as proatherogenic pathways have been suggested to be involved. Notably, to date there is only one study published, which demonstrates the influence of PM exposure on cerebrovascular function. We will discuss reasonable approaches for future neurovascular research in this field.
