U-Air: when urban air quality inference meets big data
TL;DR: This paper infer the real-time and fine-grained air quality information throughout a city, based on the (historical and real- time) air quality data reported by existing monitor stations and a variety of data sources the authors observed in the city, such as meteorology, traffic flow, human mobility, structure of road networks, and point of interests (POIs).

Acute respiratory effects of particulate air pollution
Douglas W. Dockery,C. A. Pope +1 more
TL;DR: In the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, several episodes of extreme air pollution focused attention on the potential for adverse health effects of air pollution, and the increased mortality associated with such episodes provided the first quantitative measure of the adverse effects ofAir pollution.
