- Abstract
We read with interest the recent article of Liu et al. ([2]), who carried out a large analysis of deaths attributable to ambient air pollution in Northeastern China during 2014-2017, concluding that exposure to particulate matter (PM) was associated with mortality in women but not in men. Compared with the worldwide mortality for IHD, those attributable to PM exposure accounted for 0.810/4.904 million cases (16.5%) in men and 0.577/4.026 million cases (14.3%) in women, respectively. Similar evidence could be found in China, whereby IHD mortality attributable to PM exposure accounted for 0.166/0.944 million cases (17.6%) in men and 0.126/0.806 million cases (15.6%) in women, respectively.
