Rationale: Exposure to air pollution during infancy has been related to lung function
decrements in 8-year-old children, but whether the negative effects remain into adolescence …

Rationale: Long-term exposure to air pollution has been related to lung function decrements
in children, but the role of timing of exposure remains unknown. Objectives: To assess the …

Evidence for the effects of air pollution exposure on lung function growth into adolescence is
scarce. We investigated associations of air pollution exposure with lung function and lung …

Background: There is evidence for adverse effects of outdoor air pollution on lung function of
children. Quantitative summaries of the effects of air pollution on lung function, however, are …

Lung function in early life has been shown to be an important predictor for peak lung
function in adults and later decline. Reduced lung function per se is associated with …

Background: There are limited prospective data on long-term exposure to air pollution and
effects on childhood respiratory morbidity. We investigated the development of asthma and …

Background: Long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution has typically been estimated on
the aggregate level, and more individual measures of exposure are needed. We …

Rationale: Few studies have examined associations between exposure to air pollution and
childhood lung function after implementation of strict air quality regulations in the 1990s …

Background Whether exposure to air pollution adversely affects the growth of lung function
during the period of rapid lung development that occurs between the ages of 10 and 18 …

Background Adverse effects of higher air pollution levels before and after birth on
subsequent lung function are often reported in the literature. We assessed whether low-to …
