Background Particulate air pollution has been linked to heart disease and stroke, possibly
resulting from enhanced coagulation and arterial thrombosis. Whether particulate air
pollution exposure is related to venous thrombosis is unknown. Methods We examined the
association of exposure to particulate matter of less than 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter
(PM 10) with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) risk in 870 patients and 1210 controls from the
Lombardy region in Italy, who were examined between 1995 and 2005. We estimated …
