Cardiovascular Effects of Ambient Particulate Air Pollution Exposure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the association between high levels of air pollution and human disease and showed that PM is a major risk factor with serious consequences on human health. But, the adverse effects of PM on the cardiovascular system have not been established in a series of major epidemiological and observational studies.

Air pollution and health.
TL;DR: The evidence for adverse effects on health of selected air pollutants is discussed, and it is unclear whether a threshold concentration exists for particulate matter and ozone below which no effect on health is likely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causal diagrams for epidemiologic research.
TL;DR: Causal diagrams can provide a starting point for identifying variables that must be measured and controlled to obtain unconfounded effect estimates and provide a method for critical evaluation of traditional epidemiologic criteria for confounding.
Air pollution and health
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the history of air pollution in the UK, describe the types of pollutant now in the atmosphere, and discuss the relation between air pollution and health.
