TL;DR: Air pollution exposure during pregnancy, particularly NO2, was associated with delayed psychomotor development during childhood, and the public health impact of the small changes observed at an individual level could be considerable.

TL;DR: Air pollution inequalities were mainly an urban problem suggesting measures to reduce environmental air pollution inequality should include a focus on city transport.

TL;DR: Exposure to ambient NO2 increases systemic inflammation in COPD patients, especially in former smokers, and exposure levels of systemic inflammation biomarkers in IL-8, CRP, fibrinogen and HGF increases were larger informer smokers.

TL;DR: The moderate to high explained variance of LUR models and the overall moderate correlation with PM2.5 model predictions support the application of especially the OC and PAH models in epidemiological studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the spatial variation of OP within and between 10 European study areas and developed land use regression (LUR) models to explain the measured spatial variation, finding that OP DTT levels were highest in southern Europe.
