TL;DR: This study confirms that the effects observed in daily time-series studies are not due primarily to short-term mortality displacement, and the effect size estimate for airborne particles more than doubles when the authors consider longer-term effects, which has important implications for risk assessment.

TL;DR: In this paper, air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality, but it remains unclear as to whether specific pollutants are related to specific cardiovascular causes of death, and it is not known whether specific pollutant types are associated with specific risk factors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use empirical data from 732 locations in 43 countries to estimate the mortality burdens associated with the additional heat exposure that has resulted from recent human-induced warming, during the period 1991-2018.

TL;DR: A comprehensive characterisation of future heatwave-related excess mortality across various regions and under alternative scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions, different assumptions of adaptation, and different scenarios of population change is provided to help decision makers in planning adaptation and mitigation strategies for climate change.

TL;DR: Hay fever, a family history of asthma, allergic sensitisation and ex-smoking status, and increased body mass index was a significant risk factor for incident asthma independent of sex and allergic status.
