TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided an assessment of black-carbon climate forcing that is comprehensive in its inclusion of all known and relevant processes and that is quantitative in providing best estimates and uncertainties of the main forcing terms: direct solar absorption; influence on liquid, mixed phase, and ice clouds; and deposition on snow and ice.
Review of evidence on health aspects of air pollution – REVIHAAP Project. Technical Report. World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe 2013
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present answers to 24 questions relevant to reviewing European policies on air pollution and to addressing health aspects of these policies, which were developed by a large group of scientists engaged in the WHO project REVIHAAP.

Use of Satellite Observations for Long-Term Exposure Assessment of Global Concentrations of Fine Particulate Matter
TL;DR: Satellite observations provide insight into global long-term changes in ambient PM2.5 concentrations, and significant agreement between satellite-derived estimates and ground-based measurements outside North America and Europe suggests that true global concentrations could be even greater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addressing Global Mortality from Ambient PM2.5
TL;DR: This analysis uses high-resolution (10 km, global-coverage) concentration data and cause-specific integrated exposure-response functions developed for the Global Burden of Disease 2010 to assess how regional and global improvements in ambient air quality could reduce attributable mortality from PM2.5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure assessment for estimation of the global burden of disease attributable to outdoor air pollution.
Michael Brauer,Markus Amann,Rick Burnett,Aaron Cohen,Frank Dentener,Majid Ezzati,Sarah B. Henderson,Michal Krzyzanowski,Randall V. Martin,Randall V. Martin,Rita Van Dingenen,Aaron van Donkelaar,George D. Thurston +12 more
TL;DR: These estimates expand the evaluation of the global health burden associated with outdoor air pollution, highlighted by increased concentrations in East, South, and Southeast Asia and decreases in North America and Europe.

Fine-particulate air pollution and life expectancy in the United States.
TL;DR: A reduction in exposure to ambient fine-particulate air pollution contributed to significant and measurable improvements in life expectancy in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the Effects of Ambient Air Pollution on Life Expectancy
TL;DR: Analysis of reductions in fine particulate matter in the air with life expectancies found that a decrease in the concentration of PM2.5 of 10 μg per cubic meter is associated with an increase in life expectancy of 0.77 year.
