TL;DR: Increased concentrations of PM2.5 and traffic-related air pollution within metropolitan areas, in ranges commonly encountered worldwide, are associated with progression in coronary calcification, consistent with acceleration of atherosclerosis, which supports the case for global efforts of pollution reduction in prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: The epidemiologic evidence, alongside evidence from other lines of research, provides support for a relation of air pollution exposure to dementia.

TL;DR: Long-term exposure to residential environments with greater resources to support physical activity and, to a lesser extent, healthy diets was associated with a lower incidence of T2DM, although results varied by measurement method.

TL;DR: It is found that in New York, high-SES neighborhoods were associated with higher concentrations of pollution, and the importance of accounting for neighborhood- and individual-level SES in air pollution health effects research is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this cohort study conducted between 2000 and 2018 in 6 US metropolitan regions, long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants was significantly associated with increasing emphysema assessed quantitatively using CT imaging and lung function.
