Background: Exposure to ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) can cause adverse
health effects, including premature mortality due to cardiopulmonary diseases and lung …

Background Ground-level concentrations of ozone (O3) and fine particulate matter [≤ 2.5
μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2. 5)] have increased since preindustrial times in urban …

Air pollution by fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and ozone (O 3) has increased strongly with
industrialization and urbanization. We estimate the premature mortality rates and the years …

Since the publication of the first epidemiological study to establish the connection between
long‐term exposure to atmospheric pollution and effects on human health, major efforts …

Recent risk assessments have characterized the overall burden of recent PM2. 5 and ozone
levels on public health, but generally not the variability of these impacts over time or by …

Background The growing concern with environmental related impacts on mortality and
morbidity means that the conceptual framework of environment-health-economic policy …

Ozone exposure is associated with negative health impacts, including premature mortality.
Observations and modeling studies demonstrate that emissions from one continent …

Exposure to ambient air pollution is a major global health risk factor. Using recently updated
hazard ratio functions, we estimate that the global premature mortality burden attributable to …

The health effects of air pollution were recognized after the Industrial Revolution with a
transition to manufacturing processes that utilize fuel burning and the emergence of large …

As part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burden of Disease Comparative
Risk Assessment, the burden of disease attributable to urban ambient air pollution was …
