Early life origins of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

TL;DR: People with early life disadvantage have permanently lower lung function, no catch-up with age but a slightly larger decline in lung function and a substantially increased COPD risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult lung function and long-term air pollution exposure. ESCAPE: a multicentre cohort study and meta-analysis

TL;DR: It is observed that a 10 μg·m−3 increase in NO2 exposure was associated with lower levels of FEV1, and this study adds to the evidence for an adverse association of ambient air pollution with lung function in adults at very low levels in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variation of NO2 and NOx concentrations between and within 36 European study areas: Results from the ESCAPE study

TL;DR: The ESCAPE study as mentioned in this paper investigated the long-term effects of exposure to air pollution on human health in Europe and found significant contrasts in annual average NO2 and NOx concentrations between and especially within 36 study areas across Europe.
