Interesting study from #EHMLab on known Monday peak in #CVD mortality and role of #airpollution. Analysis of 260,320 myocardial infarction (AMI) deaths over 15 years in Spain found no association with #PM2.5 & #PM10. Other factors likely responsible.

New study from #EHMLab found no detectable link between #UFP (ultrafine particle) and mortality, analysing 850k+ deaths in London/W. Midlands (2003-2018). Findings suggest risks may be context-dependent, and emphasise need for location-specific research. Full-text: journals.lww.com/environepide...
