TL;DR: It is suggested that measures aimed at reducing the temperature in micro-urban heat islands (eg, urban greening activities) may reduce the health impact of hot temperatures.

TL;DR: Controlling for traffic volume, intersection geometry, and pedestrian and cyclist volumes greatly attenuated the event rate ratios between intersections in the poorest and richest areas for injured pedestrians, cyclists, and motor vehicle occupants.

TL;DR: Short-term episodes of increased SO2 exposures from refinery stack emissions were associated with a higher number of asthma episodes in nearby children.

TL;DR: The Quebec Integrated Chronic Disease Surveillance System provides a way of producing population-based data on the chronic disease burden, health services and prescription drug uses and supports the dissemination of information to public health decision-makers for future actions.

TL;DR: This study suggests that at low daily average levels of exposure to industrial emissions, effects on pulmonary and cardiovascular functions in children with asthma may be difficult to detect over 10 consecutive days.
