TL;DR: Investigation of the temporal variations of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ground level ozone (O3) concentrations in Tehran megacity over a 10-year period from 2006 to 2015 and estimation of their long-term health effects including all-cause and cause-specific mortality found them to have contributed substantially to mortality in the city.

TL;DR: Results of this study clearly indicate the major role of traffic-related emissions (both tailpipe and non-tailpipe) on ambient PM2.5 concentrations, and can be used as a beneficial tool for air quality policy makers to mitigate adverse health effects of exposure to PM 2.5.

TL;DR: Temperature was the key influencing factor for PM 2.5 and PM 10 concentrations, while nebulosity and solar radiation exerted major influences on ambient SO 2 and O 3 concentrations, and there is a moderate coupling between wind speed and NO 2 and CO concentrations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored spatial and temporal trends in mortality and burden of disease attributable to ambient air pollution from 1990 to 2015 at global, regional, and country levels, and estimated the relative risk of mortality from ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and lower respiratory infections from epidemiological studies using nonlinear exposure-response functions spanning the global range of exposure.

TL;DR: The comparative risk assessment framework developed for previous iterations of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 was used to estimate attributable deaths, disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), and trends in exposure by age group, sex, year, and geography for 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational risks or clusters of risks from 1990 to 2015.
