Air pollution and lung cancer incidence in 17 European cohorts : Prospective analyses from the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)

TL;DR: The meta-analyses showed a statistically significant association between risk for lung cancer and PM10 and PM2·5, and no association between lungcancer and nitrogen oxides concentration or traffic intensity on the nearest street.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between natural-cause mortality and long-term exposure to several air pollutants, such as PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, and NOx.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ambient Particulate Air Pollution and Daily Mortality in 652 Cities

TL;DR: The data show independent associations between short-term exposure to PM10 and PM2.5 and daily all-cause, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality in more than 600 cities across the globe, and reinforce the evidence of a link between mortality and PM concentration established in regional and local studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiological evidence of effects of coarse airborne particles on health

TL;DR: It is concluded that special consideration should be given to studying and regulating coarse particles separately from fine particles, suggesting that coarse PM may lead to adverse responses in the lungs triggering processes leading to hospital admissions.
