A 1-µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 raised mortality risk by 0.48%, indicating significant health impacts in older patients.
Among 593,333 breast cancer patients, substantial excess deaths linked to PM2.5, ozone, and NO2 exposure were identified.
Cohort study used high-resolution air pollution data to assess exposure impacts on mortality among patients aged ≥65.
Findings suggest air pollution control strategies could potentially reduce risks and improve outcomes for patients.
