Background: Long-term exposure to air pollution has been hypothesized to elevate arterial
blood pressure (BP). The existing evidence is scarce and country specific. Objectives: We …

Background Ambient air pollution has been associated with restricted fetal growth, which is
linked with adverse respiratory health in childhood. We assessed the effect of maternal …

Introduction Apheis aims to provide European decision makers, environmental-health
professionals and the general public with up-to-date and easy-to-use information on air …

Background Air pollution from traffic has been associated with cardiorespiratory diseases in
children and adults, but there is little information on its potential neurotoxic effects. This study …

Aims We investigated whether traffic-related air pollution and noise are associated with
incident hypertension in European cohorts. Methods and results We included seven cohorts …

Recent epidemiological research suggests that near road traffic-related pollution may cause
chronic disease, as well as exacerbation of related pathologies, implying that the entire …

Land use regression (LUR) models are often used in epidemiologic studies to predict the air
pollution exposure of health study participants. Such models are often based on a small to …

Background: Air pollution effects on children's neurodevelopment have recently been
suggested to occur most likely through the oxidative stress pathway. Objective: We aimed to …

Background: Traffic noise has been associated with prevalence of hypertension, but reports
are inconsistent for blood pressure (BP). To ascertain noise effects and to disentangle them …

Background: Prenatal and early-life periods may be critical windows for harmful effects of air
pollution on infant health. Objectives: We studied the association of air pollution exposure …
