TLDR
This large, national-level cohort found positive associations between several common causes of death and exposure to PM2.5, O3, and NO2 in the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC).
Abstract
BackgroundFew studies examining the associations between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality have considered multiple pollutants when assessing changes in exposure due to resi...

Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter

Richard T. Burnett, +54 more
TL;DR: PM2.5 exposure may be related to additional causes of death than the five considered by the GBD and that incorporation of risk information from other, nonoutdoor, particle sources leads to underestimation of disease burden, especially at higher concentrations.

Air Pollution and Mortality in the Medicare Population.

TL;DR: In the entire Medicare population, there was significant evidence of adverse effects related to exposure to PM2.5 and ozone at concentrations below current national standards.

Long-Term Ozone Exposure and Mortality in a Large Prospective Study

TL;DR: Findings derived from this large-scale prospective study suggest that long-term ambient O3 contributes to risk of respiratory and circulatory mortality and substantial health and environmental benefits may be achieved by implementing further measures aimed at controlling O3 concentrations.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution

TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.

Long-term air pollution exposure and cardio- respiratory mortality: a review.

TL;DR: In subjects with lower education and obese subjects a larger effect estimate for mortality related to fine PM was found, though the evidence for differences related to education has been weakened in more recent studies.

Global Estimates of Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Concentrations from Satellite-Based Aerosol Optical Depth: Development and Application

TL;DR: Satellite-derived total-column AOD, when combined with a chemical transport model, provides estimates of global long-term average PM2.5 concentrations, with significant spatial agreement with ground-based in situ measurements.

Reduction in fine particulate air pollution and mortality : Extended Follow-up of the Harvard Six Cities Study

TL;DR: Total, cardiovascular, and lung cancer mortality were each positively associated with ambient PM2.5 concentrations.
