Short-term mortality risks of daily PM2.5-bound metals in urban region of Guangzhou, China, an indication of health risks of PM2.5 exposure
Background: Short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) increases the excess risk (ER) of deaths. The metals are important constituents that are responsible for health risks of PM2.5. However, the short-term mortality risks that are associated with individual PM2.5-bound metals are not co...
