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

Air pollution-related peak expiratory flow rates among asthmatic children in Chiang Mai, Thailand
TL;DR: The authors found that there were inverse associations of SO2 and evening PEFR, with a coefficient of -2.12, and the associations of O3 and SO2 with PEFR were found even when SO2 concentrations never exceeded the standard level.

Geostatistical modelling of health inequalities associated with exposure to road-transport emissions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between road-transport emissions and children's respiratory health and socio-environmental factors in a British multicultural city of Leicester, and found significant global relationships to exist between children's hospitalisations, social-economic status, ethnic minorities, and PM10 roadtransport emission within Leicester.

Retrieval of columnar aerosol size distributions from spectral attenuation measurements over Central Himalayas
TL;DR: In this article, the columnar size distribution (CSD; n(subscript c)(r) function of aerosols has been derived from spectral AOD measurements at Manora Peak, Nainital (29.4°N, 79.5°E,~1958 m above mean sea level) in the central Himalayas, using a ten channel multi-wavelength solar radiometer during January 2002 to December 2005.

Multi-model traffic microsimulations
Rutger Claes,Tom Holvoet +1 more
TL;DR: This paper explores multi-model simulation as an adaptive simulation strategy that reduces the computational complexity of traffic microsimulations while still maintaining the desired level of accuracy needed to produce meaningful results.

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.
C A Pope rd,Michael J. Thun,M. M. Namboodiri,Douglas W. Dockery,John S. O. Evans,Frank E. Speizer,C. W. Heath +6 more
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.
