Outdoor air pollution is a major contributor to the burden of disease worldwide. Most of the
global population resides in places where air pollution levels, because of emissions from …

As new scientific evidence on health effects of air pollution is generated, air quality
guidelines need to be periodically updated. The objective of this review is to support the …

Background: Particulate air pollution's physical health effects are well known, but
associations between particulate matter (PM) exposure and mental illness have not yet been …

Background Fine particulate matter< 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2. 5) has known effects on
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, no study has quantified and compared the …

Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components, each of which has
detrimental effects on human health. While the composition of air pollution varies greatly …

Much of the key epidemiological evidence that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter
air pollution (PM 2.5) contributes to increased risk of mortality comes from survival studies of …

Using a health impact assessment framework, we estimated the population health effects
arising from alternative land-use and transport policy initiatives in six cities. Land-use …

Industrial upgrading plays a significant role in promoting eco-efficiency, but existing studies
ignore this aspect. Using improved and comprehensive measures of eco-efficiency, we …

Background Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μg/m 3 in
aerodynamic diameter; PM 2.5) is significantly associated with increased risk of premature …

Background Few studies on long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality have been
reported from Europe. Within the multicentre European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution …
