The authors of the new study analyzed data collected from 70 cities in China between 2015 and 2017. These data covered 258 million people. During this period, more than 6.4 million people were hospitalized for coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction, coronary syndrome.
Scientists also learned about the content of ozone, fine particles, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen, carbon monoxide and other substances in the air. The average daily maximum ozone concentration was 79.2 micrograms per cubic metre.
The researchers found that each “extra” 10 micrograms per cubic meter was associated with a 0.40% increase in hospitalizations for stroke and a 0.75% increase in acute myocardial infarction.
