Research question

How has the mortality risk associated with PM10 changed across places and over time?

Geographic scope

143 cities · 26 countries

Evidence base

Multicountry, multicity time-series evidence

Approach

A coordinated time-series analysis compares temporal changes in particulate-matter-related mortality across a large international city network.

Why it matters

The study places air-pollution health effects in a comparative urban context and tests whether risks remain stable as cities and exposures change.
