Impact of Outdoor Air Pollution on Survival After Stroke: Population-Based Cohort Study
Stroke 41:869-877, 839, Maheswaran,R., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Survival after stroke was lower among patients living in areas with higher levels of outdoor air pollution. If causal, a 10 �g/m3 reduction in nitrogen dioxide exposure might be associated with a reduction in mortality comparable to that for stroke units. Improvements in outdoor air quality might contribute to better survival after stroke.
