TL;DR: Adopting and enforcing next-generation standards (more stringent than Euro 6/VI) could nearly eliminate real-world diesel-related NOx emissions in these markets, avoiding approximately 174,000 global PM2.5- and ozone-related premature deaths in 2040.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model to simulate transportation-attributable PM2.5 and ozone concentrations, combined with epidemiological health impact assessment methods consistent with the Global Burden of Disease 2017 Study to estimate the associated burden of disease.

TL;DR: Three major public health issues influenced by American farm policy are outlined, including rising obesity; food safety; and environmental health impacts, especially exposure to toxic substances and pesticides.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the concentrations changes and Radiative Forcing (RF) of short-lived atmospheric pollutants due to shipping emissions of NOx, SOx, CO, NMVOCs, BC and OC.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the global and national health burden of ambient PM2.5 exposure attributable to surface transportation emissions, which is called the transportation attributable fraction (TAF), and is assumed equal to the proportional decrease in modeled ambient particulate matter concentrations when surface transport emissions are removed.
