Our study adds to the sparse literature on the effect of multiple fine particulate matter (PM2.5) components on QT interval length, an outcome with high clinical relevance in vulnerable populations. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the association between spatiotemporally resolved exposures to PM2.5 components and QT interval length.
