ABSTRACT

24

There is a rising concern that fine particle (PM2.5) compositions may play an

25

important role in explaining PM2.5-related mortality risks. However, PM2.5

26

constituents responsible for these risks haven’t yet been determined. There are few

27

PM2.5 constituent-health studies in developing countries. We adopted a time-series

28

approach, using generalized linear regression models to examine associations between

29

short-term exposure to PM2.5 constituents and mortality, and analyzed data stratified

30

by gender and by age groups (74) from 2013–2015 in Beijing,

31

China. We also investigated seasonal patterns of such associations. For a 0-day lag,

32

interquartile range increases in potassium, calcium, magnesium, and organic carbon

33

were associated with 0.51% (95%CI: 0.17-0.85), 2.07% (95%CI: 0.71-3.44), 0.26%,

34

95%CI: 0.08-0.44) and 2.65% (95%CI: 0.18-5.18) increases in respiratory mortality;

35

and sulfate with 1.57% (95%CI: 0.04-3.12) increases in cardiovascular mortality. In

36

the season-stratified analysis, some constituents’ associations (potassium, calcium,

37

magnesium, nitrate, sulfate and organic carbon) with respiratory mortality appeared to

38

be stronger in cold seasons than in warm seasons. Older adults (65–74) may be

39

susceptible to certain compositions. Our findings provide evidence that link PM2.5

40

constituents with mortality and suggest that adverse effects vary among constituents
