AB  - In recent decades, ambient air pollution has been an important public health 
      issue in Beijing, but little is known about air pollution and health effects 
      after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We conduct a time-series analysis to evaluate 
      associations between daily mortality (nonaccidental, cardiovascular and 
      respiratory mortality) and the major air pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrogen 
      dioxide and particulate matter less than 10 microm in aerodynamic diameter) in 
      Beijing during the two years (2009,2010) after the 2008 Beijing Olympics. We used 
      generalized additive model to analyze relationship between daily mortality and 
      air pollution. In single air pollutant model with two-day moving average 
      concentrations of the air pollutants, increase in their interquartile range (IQR) 
      associated with percent increase in nonaccidental mortality, 2.55 percent [95% 
      confidence interval (CI): 1.99, 3.11] for CO, 2.54 percent (95% CI: 2.00, 3.08) 
      for NO2 and 1.80 percent (95% CI: 1.21, 2.40) for PM10, respectively; increases 
      in the IQR of air pollutant concentrations associated with percent increase in 
      cardiovascular mortality, 2.88 percent (95% CI: 2.10,3.65) for CO, 2.63 percent 
      (95% CI: 1.87, 3.39) for NO2 and 1.72 percent (95% CI: 0.88, 2.55) for PM10, 
      respectively; and increase in IQR of air pollutant concentrations associated with 
      respiratory mortality, 2.39 percent (95% CI: 0.68, 4.09) for CO, 1.79 percent 
      (95% CI: 0.11, 3.47) for NO2 and 2.07 percent (95% CI: 0.21, 3.92) for PM10, 
      respectively. We used the principal component analysis to avoid collinearity of 
      varied air pollutants. In addition, the association stratified by sex and age was 
      also examined. Ambient air pollution remained a significant contributor to 
      nonaccidental and cardiopulmonary mortalities in Beijing during 2009,2010.
