Data on Heart Disease Reported by Researchers at National Institute of Environmental Health (China's Carbon-neutral Policies Will Reduce Short-term Pm2.5-associated 2.5-associated Excess Incidence of Cardiovascular Diseases).

A recent report from the National Institute of Environmental Health in Beijing, China, suggests that China's carbon-neutral policies could have positive effects on reducing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases associated with short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). The researchers conducted a case-crossover study and projected future changes in PM2.5-associated excess incidence across China under different emission scenarios. They found that a carbon-neutral scenario could lead to an 81.07% decrease in PM2.5 concentrations by 2060, resulting in a significant reduction in the incidence of stroke and coronary heart disease. The study concludes that China's carbon-neutral policies are likely to bring health benefits for cardiovascular disease. [Extracted from the article]
