The effect of PM2.5 exposure and risk perception on the mental stress of Nanjing citizens in China
TL;DR: This study explored how fine particulate matter, an essential air pollutant associated with morbidity and mortality, interacted with aspects of risk perception to influence citizen's mental stress level and implied that air pollution has a substantial association with psychological wellbeing in various ways.

The effect of meteorological conditions on aerosol size distribution in Istanbul
S. Levent Kuzu,Arslan Saral +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, multiple linear regression was applied to particulate matter fractions in order to model the concentrations of each fraction related to meteorological data, and the particle fractions of 1.5-0.95 and 0.49-μm exhibited the highest prediction performance.

Energy Consumption and Health Outcomes in Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined causal links between energy consumption and health indicators (Mortality rate under-5, life expectancy, greenhouse effect, and government expenditure per capita) for a sample of 16 African countries over the period 1971-2010 (according to availability of countries' data).

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.

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.

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.
