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 …

Background Many regions of the world are now facing more frequent and unprecedentedly
large wildfires. However, the association between wildfire-related PM 2· 5 and mortality has …

People who relocate to a new environment may experience health effects from a change in
ambient air pollution. We undertook a literature review of studies of such relocations and …

Objective To inform potential pathophysiological mechanisms of air pollution effects on
cardiovascular disease (CVD), we investigated short-term associations between ambient air …

Background It is well known that high ambient temperatures are associated with increased
mortality, even in temperate climates, but some important details are unclear. In particular …

Objective To evaluate the short term associations between nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) and total,
cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality across multiple countries/regions worldwide, using …

Objective To assess short term mortality risks and excess mortality associated with exposure
to ozone in several cities worldwide. Design Two stage time series analysis. Setting 406 …

Rationale: The associations between ambient coarse particulate matter (PM2. 5–10) and
daily mortality are not fully understood on a global scale. Objectives: To evaluate the short …

Background Epidemiological evidence on short-term association between ambient carbon
monoxide (CO) and mortality is inconclusive and limited to single cities, regions, or …

Background Acute associations between mortality and ozone are largely accepted, though
recent evidence is less conclusive. Evidence on ozone–heat interaction is sparse. We …
