Abstract Introduction The cardiovascular health consequences of ambient air pollution generally equal or exceed those due to pulmonary diseases and cancers. Particulate matter less than 2.5μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) has become a major focus of research on the short-term exposure to air pollution and cardiovascular disease. However, the evidence regarding the association between several air pollutants and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), has been inconsistent, which could be due to limited sample sizes (∼11,000). Thus, a larger study may assist in characterising possible associations. Purpose This study aimed to identify the associations between exposure to ambient air pollution and the incidence of OHCA in Japan. Methods A case-crossover design was used to determine the odds ratio (OR) of OHCA across Japan with daily exposure of PM2.5, carbon monoxide (CO), photochemical oxidants (Ox), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) on the day of the arrest or 1–3 days before it (lag 0–3). OHCA cases were identified through the All-Japan Utstein registry of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015. All cause OHCAs were investigated by conditional logistic regression adjusted for daily temperature and relative humidity. Results A total of 249,372 OHCAs were included during study period. Each 10 μg/m3 increase in daily PM2.5 exposure over 4 days was associated with all cause OHCA risk (lag 0: OR 1.017, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.010, 1.024; lag 1: OR 1.015, 95% CI 1.008, 1.022; lag 2: OR 1.018, 95% CI 1.011, 1.025; lag 3: OR 1.021, 95% CI 1.014, 1.028; lag 0–1: OR 1.022, 95% CI 1.014, 1.030). CO, Ox and SO2 also showed significant associations with OHCAs. In the multi-pollutant model, the effects of PM2.5 remained independent of CO, Ox and SO2 (Table). Conclusion Short-term exposure to PM2.5 was independently associated with an increased risk of OHCA.

AbstractElevated blood pressure (BP) has been proposed as a possible pathophysiological mechanism linking exposure to ambient air pollution and the increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In this study, we investigated the hourly relationship between ambient air pollutants and BP. BP measurements were extracted from the electronic health record database of the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from February 2015 to June 2017. A total of 98,577 individual BP measurements were matched to the hourly levels of air pollutants. A generalized additive model was constructed for hour lags of 0–8 of air pollutants adjusting for age, sex, meteorological variables, and time trend. Systolic BP was shown to be significantly lower at 2–4 hours and 3–5 hours after increased levels of SO2 and CO, respectively (0.24 mmHg and 0.26 mmHg for an interquartile range, respectively). In contrast, O3 and NO2 were associated with significantly increased systolic BP at 3–5 lag hours and at 0–2 lag hours, respectively. BP elevation in association with O3 and NO2 was shown to be significantly greater in hypertensive patients than normotensive subjects. Our findings suggest that short-term exposure to air pollution may be associated with elevated BP.
