Progress in research on the effects of temperature and major atmospheric particulate matter on mortality in the population
The ongoing issue of global warming has led to a continuous rise in temperature,resulting in significant negative impacts on human health.Despite notable progress in air pollution control in China over recent years,the pollution levels remain a serious concern.Therefore,the risks associated with temperature and particulate matter on human health still require attention.Research has indicated that both excessively high or low temperatures and atmospheric particulate matter can increase the risk of illness and mortality among individuals.This review aims to outline the correlation between temperature,major particulate matter,and their combined effects on human mortality,while also exploring potential mechanisms of action.The goal is to offer enhanced preventive measures for high-risk populations,establish a foundational literature base for future studies,and support the development of effective public health policies,ultimately reduce the increased burden of disease death due to cold and hot weather and air pollution.
