Short term associations of ambient nitrogen dioxide with daily total, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality: multilocation analysis in 398 cities. BMJ 2021; 372: n534. [[113 citations]\\
\\
First study to examine the relationship between ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and daily mortality at a global scale. The study findings provide evidence for the World Health Organization to revise the NO2 recommended concentrations in the Global Air Quality Guidelines.\\

Interactive effects of ambient fine particulate matter and ozone on daily mortality in 372 cities: two stage time series analysis. BMJ 2023; 383:e075203. [[8 citations]\\
\\
First study to investigate interactive effects of fine particulate matter and ozone on daily mortality at a global level. The study findings suggest that policies and practices must account for the synergistic effects of different pollutants. \\

7. Lin Z, Chen R, Jiang Y, Xia Y, Niu Y, Wang C, Liu C, Chen C, Ge Y, Wang W, Yin G, Cai J, Clement V, Xu X, Chen B, Chen H, Kan H. Cardiovascular Benefits of Fish-Oil Supplementation Against Fine Particulate Air Pollution in China. J Am Coll Cardiol 2019; 73(16) : 2076-85. [[136 citations]\\
\\
This randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled trial shows that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is associated with short-term subclinical cardiovascular benefits against PM2.5 exposure. In areas with relatively heavy air pollution (e.g. China, India), the study findings provide a simple and effective way to protect health against hazardous exposure to PM2.5. \\

8. Chen R, Yin P, Wang L, Liu C, Niu Y, Wang W, Jiang Y, Liu Y, Liu J, Qi J, You J, Kan H* (* joint senior and corresponding author), Zhou MG. Association between ambient temperature and mortality risk and burden: time series study in 272 main Chinese cities. BMJ 2018; 363: k4306. [[355 citations]\\
\\
This nationwide study provides a comprehensive picture of the non-linear associations between ambient temperature and mortality, as well as the corresponding disease burden attributable to non-optimal temperatures in China. The findings on population vulnerability leads to policy changes of Chinese government. \\
