Efforts to understand and mitigate the health effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollution
have a rich and interesting history. This review focuses on six substantial lines of research …

This article briefly summarizes the epidemiology of the health effects of fine particulate air
pollution, provides an early, somewhat speculative, discussion of the contribution of …

Ozone is a highly reactive, oxidative gas associated with adverse health outcome, including
mortality and morbidity. Data from monitoring sites worldwide show levels of ozone often …

Rationale: Nearly 60% of US children live in counties with particulate matter less than or
equal to 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2. 5) concentrations above air quality …

Background Air-pollution levels have been trending downward progressively over the past
several decades in southern California, as a result of the implementation of air quality …

This paper is interested in modeling the nexus between health expenditure (HE),
Environmental pollution (CO 2 emissions; Nitrous oxide emissions) and economic growth in …

Objective The association between exposure to ambient particles with a median
aerodynamic diameter less than 10/2.5 µm (particulate matter, PM10/2.5) and COPD …

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 Traffic-related air pollution has been associated with adverse cardiorespiratory
effects, including increased asthma prevalence. However, there has been little study of …

A cohort of 1,678 Southern California children, enrolled as fourth graders in 1996, was
followed for 4 years to determine whether the growth in lung function of the children was …
