Journal ArticleDOI

Air pollution and lung cancer incidence in 17 European cohorts : Prospective analyses from the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)

TL;DR: The meta-analyses showed a statistically significant association between risk for lung cancer and PM10 and PM2·5, and no association between lungcancer and nitrogen oxides concentration or traffic intensity on the nearest street.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on natural-cause mortality : An analysis of 22 European cohorts within the multicentre ESCAPE project

Rob Beelen, +92 more
- 01 Mar 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between natural-cause mortality and long-term exposure to several air pollutants, such as PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, and NOx.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ambient air pollution and low birthweight: a European cohort study (ESCAPE)

Marie Pedersen, +56 more
TL;DR: Exposure to ambient air pollutants and traffic during pregnancy is associated with restricted fetal growth and a substantial proportion of cases of low birthweight at term could be prevented in Europe if urban air pollution was reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urban air pollution and mortality in a cohort of Norwegian men.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that urban air pollution may increase the risk of dying, and the effect seemed to be strongest for deaths from respiratory diseases other than lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

In utero exposure to cigarette smoking influences lung function at birth

TL;DR: Maternal smoking during pregnancy adversely affected tidal flow-volume ratios in healthy newborn babies, as well as the compliance of the respiratory system in girls, independently of the reduced body size also resulting from maternal smoking.
