Long term low level exposure to pm.5 and mortality in Queensland between 1998 and 2013, a modelling study 2020
Few studies investigate the influence of long-term exposure to low-level PM2.5 on cause-specific mortality, particularly for the concentrations consistently well below the current WHO annual standard. This study found long-term exposure to PM2.5 was associated with total, non-accidental, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality in Queensland, Australia, where PM2.5 levels were measured well below the WHO air quality standard.
