There have been no multi-city epidemiologic studies of PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt; in developing Asian countries. We examine the short-term association between PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt; and daily mortality in three Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenyang. PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt; concentrations were estimated by subtracting PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; from PM&lt;sub&gt;10&lt;/sub&gt; measurements. Data were analyzed using the over-dispersed generalized linear Poisson models. The average daily concentrations of PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt; were 101&amp;mu;g/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; for Beijing (2007-2008), 50&amp;mu;g/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; for Shanghai (2004-2008), and 49&amp;mu;g/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; for Shenyang (2006-2008). In the single-pollutant models, the three-city combined analysis showed significant associations between PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt; and daily mortality from both total non-accidental causes and from cardiopulmonary diseases. A 10-&amp;mu;g/m&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; increase in 1-day lagged PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt; was associated with a 0.25% (95% CI: 0.08 to 0.42) increase in total mortality, 0.25% (95% CI: 0.10 to 0.40) increase in cardiovascular mortality, and 0.48% (95% CI: 0.20 to 0.76) increase in respiratory mortality. However, these associations became statistically insignificant after adjustment for PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt;. PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; was significantly associated with mortality both before and after adjustment for PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt;. In conclusion, there were no statistically significant associations between PM&lt;sub&gt;10-2.5&lt;/sub&gt; and daily mortality after adjustment for PM&lt;sub&gt;2.5&lt;/sub&gt; in the three Chinese cities. &amp;copy; 2011 Elsevier B.V.&lt;/p&gt;
