I saw this in Medscape. It seems that if we don't eat, breathe or drink, we may be able to avoid AF.

BOSTON, MA ― Exposure to particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 µm (PM10) may increase CV-related hospitalizations, new research suggests[1].

The study of 6000 hospital records in Brescia, Italy showed that a mean increase of 1 µg/m3 of daily PM10 was linked to increased admissions for several conditions, including composite CV events, acute heart failure (HF), acute coronary syndromes (ACS), and atrial fibrillation (AF).
