Abstract

Background: Exposure to fine particulate matter (<2.5 mm in aerodynamic diameter, PM2.5) is a major source of reduced lifespan worldwide. Despite recent reduction of air pollution levels in Israel, adverse health effects of PM2.5 remain a regulatory and public health concern as recent studies have shown effects at lower concentrations. Many health impact assessments produce national or international estimates of the health burden.
