TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the differences between land-use regression (LUR) and dispersion models (DM) for estimating individual air pollution exposure in population studies and found that LUR and DM estimates correlated on average well for NO2 but only moderately for PM10 and PM2.5.

Environmental nickel exposure from oil refinery emissions: a case study in Ecuador
TL;DR: The populations living close to the oil refineries are potentially exposed to nickel from atmospheric emissions and further studies investigating nickel-related health effects in the population residingclose to the refinery of Esmeralda are needed.

TL;DR: Two time-series studies, aimed at evaluating the acute health effect of air pollution among Rome inhabitants, were carried out, and hospital admissions for respiratory and cardiovascular disease were positively correlated to particles, SO2, NO2, e CO.

TL;DR: The SESPIR Project assessed the impact on health of residents nearby incinerators, landfills and mechanical biological treatment plants in five Italian regions and found the greatest reduction in health impact is achieved with a virtuous policy of reducing waste production and a significant increase in the collection and recycling of waste.

[Long-term health effects of air pollution: results of the European project ESCAPE].
TL;DR: The project developed a standardized and flexible methodology to estimate chronic exposure to several air pollutants, applied such estimates to existing cohorts in Europe, and analyzed the exposure-response relationships with different health endpoints, including adverse pregnancy outcomes, respiratory diseases among children, cardio-respiratory diseases among adults, cause-specific mortality and lung cancer incidence.
