Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality risk attributable to high and low ambient temperature: a multicountry observational study
Antonio Gasparrini,Yuming Guo,Masahiro Hashizume,Eric Lavigne,Antonella Zanobetti,Joel Schwartz,Aurelio Tobias,Shilu Tong,Joacim Rocklöv,Bertil Forsberg,Michela Leone,Manuela De Sario,Michelle L. Bell,Yueliang Leon Guo,Chang-Fu Wu,Haidong Kan,Seung-Muk Yi,Micheline de Sousa Zanotti Stagliorio Coelho,Paulo Hilário Nascimento Saldiva,Yasushi Honda,Ho Kim,Ben Armstrong +21 more
TL;DR: Most of the temperature-related mortality burden was attributable to the contribution of cold, and the effect of days of extreme temperature was substantially less than that attributable to milder but non-optimum weather.
Journal ArticleDOI

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
Bert Brunekreef,Bertil Forsberg +1 more
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.
