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

Ambient PM2.5 in the residential area near industrial complexes: Spatiotemporal variation, source apportionment, and health impact.
Chin Yu Hsu,Hung-Che Chiang,Mu Jean Chen,Chun-Yu Chuang,Chao Ming Tsen,Guor-Cheng Fang,Ying I. Tsai,Nai-Tzu Chen,Tzu Yu Lin,Sheng-Lun Lin,Yu-Cheng Chen,Yu-Cheng Chen +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the emission from coal combustion, iron ore and steel industry, and non-ferrous metallurgy, accounting for ~70% of the primary PM2.5 in the winter are prioritized to control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burden of disease attributed to ambient PM2.5 and PM10 exposure in 190 cities in China.
TL;DR: The present methodology could be used as a tool to help policy makers and pollution control board authorities, to further analyze costs and benefits of air pollution management programs in China.

Influence of Sampling Artefacts on Measured PM, OC, and EC Levels in Carbonaceous Aerosols in an Urban Area
Mar Viana,Xuguang Chi,Willy Maenhaut,Jan Cafmeyer,Xavier Querol,Andrés Alastuey,Pavel Mikuška,Zbyněk Večeřa +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two types of artefacts were evaluated at an urban site in Ghent (Belgium) during the summer period: those related to the sampling procedure (high- or low-volume samplers) and the adsorption and/or volatilization of carbonaceous species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of pm2.5 by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectrometer: its relation with different pollution sources
P. G. Satsangi,Shweta Yadav +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of morphological and chemical composition of atmospheric particles at discrete level is presented, based on the measurements of a population of 840 particles, particle morphology was determined by quanti- tative image analyzer and value of roundness (R) varies from 0.23 to 1.0 (mean 0.75) which suggests that particles vary in shape from nearly irregular to perfectly spherical shape.

Traffic-related air pollution and respiratory symptoms among asthmatic children, resident in Mexico City: the EVA cohort study.

TL;DR: Respiratory symptoms in asthmatic children were significantly associated with exposure to traffic exhaust, especially from natural gas and diesel-fueled vehicles.

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.

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.
