Here we focus only on studies of association between PM and MI, they could be partial results from larger studies. Only studies with >1000 MI events are reported.
AMI, acute myocardial infarction; BC, black carbon; HA, hospital admission; MI, myocardial infarction; OC, organic carbon; PM, particulate matter; TSP, total suspended particulate.
