However, little information exists regarding the health effects of long-term exposure. To investigate the association between residential long-term exposure to air pollution and blood pressure and hypertension, we studied 24 845 Chinese adults in 11 districts of 3 northeastern cities from 2009 to 2010. Three-year average concentration of particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm (PM ), sulfur dioxide (SO ), nitrogen dioxides (NO ), and ozone (O ) 10 2 2 3 were calculated from monitoring stations in the 11 districts. We used generalized additive models and 2-level logistic regressions models to examine the health effects. The results showed that the odds ratio for hypertension increased by 3 3 1.12 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08–1.16) per 19 μg/m increase in PM , 1.11 (95% CI, 1.04–1.18) per 20 μg/m increase in SO ,
