Rationale: Short-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with lower lung
function. Few studies have examined whether these associations are detectable at relatively …

Rationale: Few studies have examined associations between long-term exposure to fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) and lung function decline in adults. Objectives: To determine if …

Daily changes in ambient concentrations of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides and ozone
are associated with increased cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality, with the lungs and …

The present analysis was directed at investigating associations between short-term
variations in air pollutant levels (NO2, total suspended particulates [TSP], O3) and cross …

Rationale: Several studies have linked long-term exposure to particulate air pollution with
increased cardiopulmonary mortality; only two have also examined incident circulatory …

Background Air pollution has been associated with impaired health, including reduced lung
function in adults. Moving to cleaner areas has been shown to attenuate adverse effects of …

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: The extent to which chronic exposure to outdoor air pollutants influences lung
function in adults is unclear. The aim of this study was to measure the association between …

Lung function is an important measure of respiratory health and a predictor of
cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. Over the past 2 decades, more than 50 …

Rationale: Cohort evidence linking long-term exposure to outdoor particulate air pollution
and mortality has come largely from the United States. There is relatively little evidence from …
