TL;DR: In utero exposure to particulate matter, particularly during the second trimester, was associated with differences in the cord blood levels of metabolites derived from the lipoxygenase pathways, which may indicate an effect of air pollution during in utero life on the inflammatory state of the newborn at birth.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the main aim of the study is to develop local land use regression for ground level ozone [ozone] is considered a harmful air pollutant but there is a knowledge gap regarding its long term health effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between Mortality and Short-Term Exposure to Particles, Ozone and Nitrogen Dioxide in Stockholm, Sweden
TL;DR: The concentrations of O3 and PM2.5–10 are in general highest during sunny and dry days during the spring, when exposure to outdoor air tend to increase, while the opposite applies to NO2, PNC4 and BC, with the highest concentrations during the short winter days with cold weather.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: There was no evidence of an association between exposure to outdoor air pollution levels at place of residence and risk of BC, and extensive assessment of exposure and comprehensive data on personal risk factors such as smoking was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field validation of the Ogawa diffusive sampler for NO2 and NOx in a cold climate
TL;DR: A small-scale field trial in Umeå, Sweden with Ogawa samplers and a chemiluminescence instrument indicated that the NO(2) concentration was underestimated with respect to the reference monitor, if calculated according to the manufacturer's Ogawa sampling protocol.
