Long-term air pollution exposure and living close to busy roads are associated with COPD in women.

TL;DR: Chronic exposure to PM10, NO2 and living near a major road might increase the risk of developing COPD and can have a detrimental effect on lung function, which was strongest affected by PM10 and traffic related exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution and markers of inflammation and coagulation in patients with coronary heart disease.

TL;DR: Increased levels of C-reactive protein above the 90th percentile were observed for an increase in air pollution concentrations of one interquartile range, suggesting that inflammation as well as parts of the coagulation pathway may contribute to the association between particulate air pollution and coronary events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial variation of PM2.5, PM10, PM2.5 absorbance and PMcoarse concentrations between and within 20 European study areas and the relationship with NO2 : results of the ESCAPE project

TL;DR: The ESCAPE study as discussed by the authors investigated the relationship between long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution and health using cohort studies across Europe, and found substantial variability in spatial patterns of PM2.5, PM10 and PMcoarse.
