TL;DR: The ESCAPE study as discussed by the authors investigated the relationship between long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution and health using cohort studies across Europe, and found substantial variability was found in spatial patterns of PM 2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, PM 10 and PM coarse.

Does air pollution play a role in infertility?: a systematic review
TL;DR: Both animal and human epidemiological studies support the idea that air pollutants cause defects during gametogenesis leading to a drop in reproductive capacities in exposed populations.

Urban and Transport Planning Related Exposures and Mortality: A Health Impact Assessment for Cities

TL;DR: The need for the reduction of motorized traffic through the promotion of active and public transport and the provision of green infrastructure is emphasized to provide opportunities for PA and for mitigation of air pollution, noise, and heat.

The health impacts of traffic-related exposures in urban areas: Understanding real effects, underlying driving forces and co-producing future directions

TL;DR: The key driving forces behind the current state of urban mobility are explored, recommendations for practices that could facilitate positioning health at the core of transport design, planning and policy are outlined and stakeholders’ recommendations for a cross-disciplinary co-production approach are outlined.

Outdoor air pollution and human infertility: a systematic review
TL;DR: After exposure to similar levels of air pollutants, comparable results have been found regardless of the mode of conception, suggesting that infertile women are not more susceptible to the effects of pollutants than the general population.

TL;DR: It is suggested that fine-particulate air pollution, or a more complex pollution mixture associated with fine particulate matter, contributes to excess mortality in certain U.S. cities.

Approximate Bayesian inference for latent Gaussian models by using integrated nested Laplace approximations
TL;DR: This work considers approximate Bayesian inference in a popular subset of structured additive regression models, latent Gaussian models, where the latent field is Gaussian, controlled by a few hyperparameters and with non‐Gaussian response variables and can directly compute very accurate approximations to the posterior marginals.

Bayesian image restoration, with two applications in spatial statistics
TL;DR: There has been much recent interest in Bayesian image analysis, including such topics as removal of blur and noise, detection of object boundaries, classification of textures, and reconstruction of two- or three-dimensional scenes from noisy lower-dimensional views as mentioned in this paper.

Rejoinder (Bayesian image restoration,with two applications in spatial statistics)
TL;DR: The present paper argues that many problems in the analysis of spatial data can be interpreted as problems of image restoration, since the amounts of data involved allow routine use of computer intensive methods, such as the Gibbs sampler, that are not yet practicable for conventional images.
