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

The transport sector as a source of air pollution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the variety of transport impacts on the atmospheric environment by reviewing three examples: urban road traffic and human health, aircraft emissions and global atmospheric change, and the contribution of sulphur emissions from ships to acid deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient air pollution and pregnancy outcomes: a review of the literature.
TL;DR: Molecular epidemiologic studies suggest possible biologic mechanisms for the effect on birth weight, premature birth, and IUGR and support the view that the relation between pollution and these birth outcomes is genuine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health effects of particulate air pollution: A review of epidemiological evidence.
TL;DR: This review seeks to give an overview on the variety of health risks air pollution poses with a focus on epidemiological studies to give the reader a comprehensive impression on the large number of health effects of air pollution.

Quantitative sampling using an Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer 1. Techniques of data interpretation and error analysis
James Allan,Jose L. Jimenez,Jose L. Jimenez,Paul I. Williams,M. Rami Alfarra,Keith Bower,John T. Jayne,Hugh Coe,Douglas R. Worsnop +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the quadrupole mass spectrometer (AMS) during the mass spectrum (MS) mode of operation to estimate the chemical composition and size of volatile and semivolatile fine airborne particulate matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review and meta-analysis of the adverse health effects of ambient PM2.5 and PM10 pollution in the Chinese population.
TL;DR: Evidence of constituent-associated health effects, long-term effects and morbidity in China is still inadequate and combined estimates of the health effects of exposure to particulate matter from quantitative reviews could provide vital information for epidemiology-based health impact assessments.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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.
