Journal ArticleDOI

Klea Katsouyanni,Giota Touloumi,C Spix,Joel Schwartz,F Balducci,Sylvia Medina,Giuseppe Rossi,Bogdan Wojtyniak,Jordi Sunyer,L Bacharova,Jan P. Schouten,A Ponka,H. R. Anderson +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a prospective combined quantitative analysis of the associations between all cause mortality and ambient particulate matter and sulphur dioxide and found that the effects of both pollutants were stronger during the summer and were mutually independent.
Daily mortality and fine and ultrafine particles in Erfurt, Germany part I: role of particle number and particle mass.
Heinz Erich Wichmann,C Spix,Thomas Tuch,Gabriele Wölke,Annette Peters,Joachim Heinrich,Wolfgang G. Kreyling,Joachim Heyder +7 more
TL;DR: Mortality increased in association with level of ambient air pollution after adjustment for season, influenza epidemics, day of week, and weather, and in two-pollutant models, associations of ultrafine and fine particles seemed to be largely independent of each other, and the risk was enhanced if both were considered at the same time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term Effects of Ambient Oxidant Exposure on Mortality: A Combined Analysis within the APHEA Project
Giota Touloumi,Klea Katsouyanni,Denis Zmirou,Joel Schwartz,C Spix,A. Ponce de Leon,Aurelio Tobias,P. Quennel,D. Rabczenko,L Bacharova,Luigi Bisanti,Judith M. Vonk,A Ponka +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the results of the short-term effects of ambient oxidants on daily deaths from all causes (excluding accidents) within the Air Pollution and Health: a European Approach (APHEA) project.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-series analysis of air pollution and cause-specific mortality.
Denis Zmirou,Joel Schwartz,Marc Saez,Antonella Zanobetti,Bogdan Wojtyniak,Giota Touloumi,C Spix,AP de Leon,Y. Le Moullec,L Bacharova,Jan P. Schouten,A Ponka,Klea Katsouyanni +12 more
TL;DR: Ten large European cities provided data on daily air pollution as well as mortality from respiratory and cardiovascular mortality, using Poisson autoregressive models that controlled for trend, season, influenza epidemics, and meteorologic influences to assess the short-term effects of air pollution.
Journal Article
Short-term effects of air-pollution on health - a european approach using epidemiologic time-series data - the aphea project - background, objectives, design
Klea Katsouyanni,Denis Zmirou,C Spix,Jordi Sunyer,Jan P. Schouten,A Ponka,Hr Anderson,Y Lemoullec,Bogdan Wojtyniak,Ma Vigotti,L Bacharova +10 more
TL;DR: The APHEA (Air Pollution on Health: European Approach) project is an attempt to provide quantitative estimates of the short-term health effects of air pollution, using an extensive data base from 10 different European countries, which represent various social, environmental and air pollution situations.
