Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) can causally contribute to progression of atherosclerosis, risk of ischemic heart disease and death, but the underlying mechanism is little known. Since DNA methylation impacts the process of heart disease, it might be useful in exploring potential mechanistic pathways linking PM 2.5 exposure and heart disease.
