Effects of prolonged exposure to nitrogen dioxide and ozone on mortality: a warning for healthcare professionals
Prolonged exposure to air pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and ozone (O₃), is increasingly linked to higher health risks, particularly concerning mortality. These gases, primarily emitted by road traffic and industrial activities, exacerbate respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, posing a major public health challenge. This study reexamines the long-term health effects of these pollutants, with a focus on mortality rates.
