Assuming causality, the current EU limit value for PM10, which may be exceeded on 35 days/year, does not prevent PM10 from triggering mortality in late neonates.
Furthermore, viral agents could trigger higher mortality independent of ORT infection, such as NDV [ 1] and APV [ 21, 22].
Indeed, the promotion and vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques is a potential mechanism by which PM air pollution could trigger cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
Disturbances in autonomous nervous system function reflected by decreased HRV may represent one pathway by which tobacco smoke, including second-hand smoke (SHS), and air pollutants trigger cardiovascular mortality and morbidity (Pope et al. 2001, 2004).

Certain cultural changes such as an increase in the value placed on investment in child human capital, may trigger both mortality and fertility declines, given the growing evidence pointing to the influential role of conditions in early childhood in determining adult health and human capital.
Detection of YFV in animals is often triggered by mortality events in New World monkeys27,48.
A paper published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences builds on other recent research suggesting that the fungus is found in populations of bats in Europe without triggering mass mortality.
Elevated blood viscosity, cholesterol levels and sweating thresholds might also trigger heat-related mortality [28], [35].
Further investigations are warranted to establish whether WNS is a symptom of or a trigger for mass mortality in bats.
These events have been shown to trigger massive seaweed mortality [ 77], affecting population density and genetic structure.
