Human health and environmental risks are increasing following air pollution associated with vehicular and industrial emissions in which particulate matter is a constituent. The purpose of this review was to assess studies on the health effects and mortality induced by particles published for the last 15 years. The literature survey indicated the existence of strong positive associations between fine and ultrafine particles' exposure and cardiovascular, hypertension, obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer health risks, and mortality. Its exposure is also associated with increased odds of hypertensive and diabetes disorders of pregnancy and premature deaths. The ever increasing hospital admission and mortality due to heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer could be due to long-term exposure to particles in different countries. Therefore, its effect should be communicated for legal and scientific actions to minimize emissions mainly from traffic sources.
人类健康和环境风险随着与车辆和工业排放有关的空气污染而增加，其中颗粒物是其组成部分。本综述的目的是评估过去 15 年来发表的关于颗粒物引起的健康影响和死亡率的研究。文献调查表明，细颗粒物和超细颗粒物暴露与心血管疾病、高血压、肥胖和 2 型糖尿病、癌症健康风险和死亡率之间存在强烈的正相关关系。其暴露也与妊娠高血压和糖尿病疾病以及早产死亡的风险增加有关。由于心力衰竭、糖尿病、高血压和癌症导致的住院和死亡率不断增加，可能是由于在不同国家长期暴露于颗粒物。因此，应该传播其影响，以便采取法律和科学行动，主要从交通源减少排放。
