TL;DR: The results show the adverse impact of sugar cane burning emissions on the health of the population, reinforcing the need for public efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate this source of air pollution.

TL;DR: The results suggest that air pollution in São Paulo may promote adverse health effects on fetuses, and some evidence of fetal exposure to air pollution was obtained by disclosing a significant association between the levels of carboxyhemoglobin of blood sampled from the umbilical cord and ambient CO levels in children delivered by nonsmoking pregnant women in the period from May to July 1995.

TL;DR: Increases in TSP concentrations were definitely associated with asthma hospital admissions in Araraquara and, despite using sugar cane alcohol to reduce air pollution from automotive sources in large Brazilian urban centres, the cities where sugar cane is harvested pay a high toll in terms of public health.

TL;DR: To investigate the responses of children of different ages to air pollution exposure, daily records of hospital admissions for children in five age groups were obtained and Polynomial distributed lag models were used to estimate the 7‐day cumulative effect of each pollutant.

TL;DR: This study supplies biological plausibility for observational studies on air pollution-related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Sao Paulo city's vehicular traffic controllers by means of risk indicators for cardiovascular diseases.
