TLDR
The authors used a Poisson regression model to explore whether temperature modifies the effect of ozone on mortality in the 60 large eastern US communities during April to October, 1987-2000, and concluded that temperature synergistically modified the ozone-mortality association in the northeast region, but such a pattern was not apparent in the southeast region.About:

TL;DR: A paramount issue will be to identify species and populations especially vulnerable to climate-pollutant interactions, in the context of the many other physical, chemical, and biological stressors that will be altered with climate change.

Climate change, extreme weather events, air pollution and respiratory health in Europe
TL;DR: These multidimensional climate–pollution–allergen effects need to be taken into account in estimating both climate and air pollution-related respiratory effects, in order to set up adequate policy and public health actions to face both the current and future climate and pollution challenges.

TL;DR: The most important recommendation was the development of more accurate predictive models for predicting the impact of climate change on respiratory health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Air Pollution and Temperature on COPD.
TL;DR: Understanding factors that may modify susceptibility to air pollution in patients with COPD is of utmost importance because with the projected increases in temperature and extreme weather events in the context of climate change there has been increased attention to the effects of heat exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of global climate change for the assessment and management of human health risks of chemicals in the natural environment.
TL;DR: How GCC might affect the different steps in the pathway from a chemical source in the environment through to impacts on human health and evaluates the implications for existing risk-assessment and management practices is explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the analysis of variance is given for these models using log- likelihoods, illustrated by examples relating to four distributions; the Normal, Binomial (probit analysis, etc.), Poisson (contingency tables), and gamma (variance components).

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality in 20 U.S. Cities, 1987–1994
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of five major outdoor-air pollutants on daily mortality rates in 20 of the largest cities and metropolitan areas in the United States from 1987 to 1994 were assessed, including PM10, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
