Observational study demonstrates increased respiratory mortality from long-term ozone exposure after controlling for PM2.5, highlighting distinct pulmonary risks.
In this large study, we were not able to detect an effect of ozone on the risk of death from cardiovascular causes when the concentration of PM(2.5) was taken into account. We did, however, demonstrate a significant increase in the risk of death from respiratory causes in association with an increase in ozone concentration.
