Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is one of the major causes of death worldwide, with
demonstrated adverse effects from both short-term and long-term exposure. Most of the …

Background Ambient air pollution is suspected to cause lung cancer. We aimed to assess
the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and lung cancer …

The available evidence on the effects of ambient air pollution on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)
has increased substantially. In this umbrella review, we summarized the current …

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 Effects (…

Background The systematic evaluation of the results of time-series studies of air pollution is
challenged by differences in model specification and publication bias. Methods We …

Objectives To study the effect of long term exposure to airborne pollutants on the incidence
of acute coronary events in 11 cohorts participating in the European Study of Cohorts for Air …

Background: Few European studies have investigated the effects of long-term exposure to
both fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 µm; PM 2.5 ) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) on mortality. …

Background: Although studies have documented increased mortality during heat waves, little
information is available on the subgroups most susceptible to these effects. We evaluated …

Background Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution has been associated with premature
mortality, but associations at concentrations lower than current annual limit values are …

Background: Few studies have investigated effects of air pollution on the incidence of
cerebrovascular events. Objectives: We assessed the association between long-term exposure to …
