Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is associated with increased risks of mortality. To a lesser extent, a series of studies suggest that living in greener areas is associated with reduced risks of mortality. Only a handful of studies have examined the interplay between PM 2.5 , greenness, and mortality.
