TL;DR: It is observed that a 10 μg·m−3 increase in NO2 exposure was associated with lower levels of FEV1, and this study adds to the evidence for an adverse association of ambient air pollution with lung function in adults at very low levels in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heatwave early warning systems and adaptation advice to reduce human health consequences of heatwaves.
TL;DR: Although there are many similarities among the HEWS, there also are differences in key characteristics that could inform improvements in heatwave early warning plans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term effects of nitrogen dioxide on mortality: an analysis within the APHEA project
Evangelia Samoli,Evgenia Aga,Giota Touloumi,K. Nisiotis,Bertil Forsberg,Agnès Lefranc,Juha Pekkanen,Bogdan Wojtyniak,Christian Schindler,E. Niciu,R. Brunstein,M Dodic Fikfak,Joel Schwartz,Klea Katsouyanni +13 more
TL;DR: The results of this large study are consistent with an independent effect of nitrogen dioxide on mortality, but the role ofnitrogen dioxide as a surrogate of other unmeasured pollutants cannot be completely ruled out.
Journal ArticleDOI
The temporal pattern of respiratory and heart disease mortality in response to air pollution.
Antonella Zanobetti,Joel Schwartz,E Samoli,Alexandros Gryparis,Giota Touloumi,Janet L. Peacock,Ross Anderson,Alain Le Tertre,Janos Bobros,Martin Celko,Ayana I. Goren,Bertil Forsberg,Paola Michelozzi,Daniel Rabczenko,Santiago Perez Hoyos,H Erich Wichmann,Klea Katsouyanni +16 more
TL;DR: This study confirms that most of the effect of air pollution is not simply advanced by a few weeks and that effects persist for more than a month after exposure and finds similar effects when stratifying by age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Dementia Incidence in Northern Sweden: A Longitudinal Study.
Anna Oudin,Bertil Forsberg,Annelie Nordin Adolfsson,Nina Lind,Lars Modig,Maria Nordin,Steven Nordin,Rolf Adolfsson,Lars-Göran Nilsson +8 more
TL;DR: If the associations observed are causal, then air pollution from traffic might be an important risk factor for vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
