From: Research progress of different components of PM2.5 and ischemic stroke
The main pathways and possible mechanisms by which PM2.5 and its different components affect ischemic stroke. The different colored balls represent different components of PM2.5, which affects ischemic stroke mainly through the respiratory pathway. The possible mechanisms of ischemic stroke involve the pathways of atherosclerosis, platelet aggregation, genetic mutation, and neural interference et al.
