Hanne Krage Carlsen,Hanne Krage Carlsen,Hanne Krage Carlsen,Erik Bäck,Kristina Eneroth,Thorarinn Gislason,Mathias Holm,Christer Janson,Steen Solvang Jensen,Ane Johannessen,Marko Kaasik,Lars Modig,David Segersson,Torben Sigsgaard,Bertil Forsberg,David Olsson,Hans Orru,Hans Orru +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined correlations between self-reported and modelled exposure to traffic pollution, and found that selfreported exposure was positively associated with traffic pollution in the United Kingdom.

TL;DR: Concomitant symptoms from the upper airways and the skin were significantly more common in both allergic and non-allergic asthma, indicating that non- allergic asthma has a systemic component with similarities to what is found in allergic asthma.

Anders Bjerg,Jonas Eriksson,Inga Sif Ólafsdóttir,Roelinde Middelveld,Karl A. Franklin,Bertil Forsberg,Kjell Larsson,Kjell Torén,Sven-Erik Dahlén,Christer Janson +9 more
TL;DR: The pattern in the time trends of asthma outcomes strongly suggests that decreased smoking counterbalanced the driving effect of increased rhinitis on asthma prevalence, and illustrates the public health benefits of decreased smoking.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the differences between land-use regression (LUR) and dispersion models (DM) for estimating individual air pollution exposure in population studies and found that LUR and DM estimates correlated on average well for NO2 but only moderately for PM10 and PM2.5.
