TLDR
In this paper, the authors estimated the impact of outdoor and traffic-related air pollution on public health in Austria, France, and Switzerland, and found that air pollution contributes to mortality and morbidity.Citations

Environmental defensive expenditures, expectations and growth
TL;DR: In this article, the authors adopt a simple model in which agents formulate expectations on the future environment that can be right or wrong and examine how such expectations influence capital accumulation and growth.

Monoclonal antibody proteomics: discovery and prevalidation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease biomarkers in a single step.

TL;DR: By re‐engineering the biomarker discovery paradigm, the encouraging results presented in this paper clearly demonstrate the efficiency of the mAb proteomics approach, and set the grounds for the next steps of studies, namely, the hunt for candidate biomarkers that respond to drug treatment.

All-source and source-specific air pollution and 10-year diabetes Incidence: Total effect and mediation analyses in the Heinz Nixdorf recall study.

TL;DR: Exposure to total and source-specific ambient AP may increase DM risk, with consistent results observed across traffic-specific exposures, and potential mediation of the association between AP and DM was observed for adiponectin but not for hsCRP and IL-1RA.

Different exposure of infants and adults to ultrafine particles in the urban area of Barcelona
Oscar Garcia-Algar,Oscar Garcia-Algar,Lizzeth Canchucaja,Valentina d’Orazzio,Andrea Manich,Xavier Joya,Oriol Vall,Oriol Vall +7 more
TL;DR: It is revealed that infants transported by stroller in urban areas are more exposed to air pollution than walking adults and UFP have more effects on their health, so measures should be taken to protect this population when it is transported in the street.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of interferences to nonlinear two-line atomic fluorescence (NTLAF) in sooty flames
TL;DR: In this article, both on- and off-wavelength NTLAF measurements are presented and compared for laminar non-premixed ethylene-air flames with soot and laser-induced incandescence (LII) measurements were used to determine the corresponding soot concentration and location in the investigated flames.

An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities
Douglas W. Dockery,C A Pope rd,X Xu,John D. Spengler,James H. Ware,Martha E. Fay,Benjamin G. Ferris,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
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.
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.

Particulate air pollution as a predictor of mortality in a prospective study of U.S. adults.

TL;DR: Increased mortality is associated with sulfate and fine particulate air pollution at levels commonly found in U.S. cities, although the increase in risk is not attributable to tobacco smoking, although other unmeasured correlates of pollution cannot be excluded with certainty.
Air pollution and health
TL;DR: In this article, the authors outline the history of air pollution in the UK, describe the types of pollutant now in the atmosphere, and discuss the relation between air pollution and health.

Short term effects of ambient sulphur dioxide and particulate matter on mortality in 12 European cities: Results from time series data from the APHEA project

TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a prospective combined quantitative analysis of the associations between all cause mortality and ambient particulate matter and sulphur dioxide and found that the effects of both pollutants were stronger during the summer and were mutually independent.
