From page 46...
... Kipen said that the takeaway message is that, while we know that the strength of the association between air pollution and respiratory disease is stronger, the vast burden of morbidity from air pollution is actually due to increased cardiovascular disease, largely because cardiovascular disease is so much more prevalent in adults living in the developed world. It is likely that the mechanisms that link particulate matter and cardiovascular disease involve inflammation and oxidative stress that arise when particulate matter interacts with lung tissue and triggers physiological
