From Metro Manila Air Pollution watch | April 15, 2013 

Conventional wisdom suggests that air pollution causes that only respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis, and emphysema (COPD) are caused air pollution (dirty air)

But there are increasing literature, research, findings that link air pollution and heart diseases (CVD - cardiovascular diseases).

So be careful when biking at highly polluted areas, or when a smoke belcher overtakes you. You could get heart disease.
