Outdoor Air Pollution and Stroke in Sheffield, United Kingdom
Stroke 36:239-243, Maheswaran, R., et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The results are consistent with an excess risk of stroke mortality and, to a lesser extent, hospital admissions in areas with high outdoor air pollution levels. If causality were assumed, 11% of stroke deaths would have been attributable to outdoor air pollution. Targeting policy interventions at high pollution areas may be a feasible option for stroke prevention.
