TLDR
The ESCAPE study as mentioned in this paper investigated the long-term effects of exposure to air pollution on human health in Europe and found significant contrasts in annual average NO2 and NOx concentrations between and especially within 36 study areas across Europe.

Air pollution and lung cancer incidence in 17 European cohorts : Prospective analyses from the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)

TL;DR: The meta-analyses showed a statistically significant association between risk for lung cancer and PM10 and PM2·5, and no association between lungcancer and nitrogen oxides concentration or traffic intensity on the nearest street.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the association between natural-cause mortality and long-term exposure to several air pollutants, such as PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, and NOx.

Development of NO2 and NOx land use regression models for estimating air pollution exposure in 36 study areas in Europe - The ESCAPE project

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate within-city variability in air pollution concentrations using Land Use Regression (LUR) models and show that LUR models are able to explain small-scale within city variations.

Review of evidence on health aspects of air pollution – REVIHAAP Project. Technical Report. World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe 2013

Bernard Festy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present answers to 24 questions relevant to reviewing European policies on air pollution and to addressing health aspects of these policies, which were developed by a large group of scientists engaged in the WHO project REVIHAAP.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution

TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Health effects of fine particulate air pollution: lines that connect

TL;DR: A comprehensive evaluation of the research findings provides persuasive evidence that exposure to fine particulate air pollution has adverse effects on cardiopulmonary health.
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.
