We conducted a combined analysis of the original data to evaluate the consistency of 12
case-control studies of diet and breast cancer. Our analysis shows a consistent, statistically …

The adverse health effects of air pollution became widely acknowledged after severe
pollution episodes occurred in Europe and North America before the 1960s. In these areas …

Background Studies have shown associations between mortality and long-term exposure to
particulate matter air pollution. Few cohort studies have estimated the effects 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 …

We present the results of the Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach 2 (APHEA2)
project on short-term effects of ambient particles on mortality with emphasis on effect …

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 …

Objectives: To carry out a prospective combined quantitative analysis of the associations
between all cause mortality and ambient particulate matter and sulphur dioxide. Design …

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 …

The APHEA 2 project investigated short-term health effects of particles in eight European
cities. In each city associations between particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than …

Background: Epidemiologic studies show that high temperatures are related to mortality, but
little is known about the exposure-response function and the lagged effect of heat. We report …
