Increased air pollutants correlate with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease potentially due to vascular dysfunction.
Xie Zhenhua, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) told a press conference this week that increased air pollutants caused by fossil fuel use were the main cause of smog which has severely impacted people's health.
For example, two multisite studies primarily related to asthma, the National Cooperative Inner-City AsthMortimer (Mortimet et al. 2002) and a study of children in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (Schildcrout et al. 2006), reported increased asthma symptoms with increasing air pollutants.
Increased air pollutant concentrations have been linked to several asthma-related outcomes in children, including respiratory symptoms, medication use, and hospital visits.
Phuleria et. al. [5] shows how the emissions from the October 2003 Californian fires increased air pollutant concentrations, most notably particulate matter with diameters less than 10 μm (PM10), throughout the Los Angeles Basin.

In studies examining individual trimesters during pregnancy, our findings are consistent with those reporting birth weight associations with increased air pollutant concentrations in the third trimester, but not those reporting associations with first- and second-trimester pollutant exposures (Woodruff et al. 2009).
Its levels in serum increase when air pollutants harmfully affect lung epithelium permeability [ 14].
The results are presented as the percent change in daily mortality per 10-μg/m increase of air pollutants.
The differences among samples from both periods appear to be associated with the increase of air pollutants in the metropolitan areas of Mexico City during the years under study.
