Ozone Pollution Linked to Increased Risk of Serious Heart Disease

12 Mar 2023 | Abstracted from RFI

"The new study is the first to evaluate the risk of hospitalisation for heart disease when ozone levels rise above the World Health Organization's daily guideline of 100 microgrammes per cubic metre of air...a team of China-led researchers looked at data on hospital admissions from 2015 to 2017 in 70 Chinese cities.

"...each increase of 10 microgrammes of ozone per cubic metre of air was linked to a 0.75 percent rise in hospitalisations for heart attacks, and to a 0.40 percent increase for stroke."
