(author), Gehring, U. (author)BACKGROUND: Negative effects of long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) on lung function have been shown repeatedly. Spatial differences in the composition and toxicity of PM may explain differences in observed effect sizes between studies.

(author)The capacity of Particulate Matter (PM) to oxidise target molecules, defined as its oxidative potential (OP), has been proposed as a biologically more relevant metric than PM mass. Different assays exist for measuring OP and their methodologies vary in the choice of extraction solvent and filter type. Little is known about the impact of...article 2014

(author)Few studies have assessed the effects of policies aimed to reduce traffic-related air pollution. The aims of this study were to evaluate the impact, in terms of air quality and health effects, of two low-emission zones established in Rome in the period 2001-2005 and to assess the impact by socioeconomic position (SEP) of the population.

Keuken, M. (author), Zandveld, P.Y.J. (author), van den Elshout, S. (author), Janssen, N.A.H. (author), Hoek, G. (author)A health impact assessment (HIA) of PM10 and elemental carbon (EC) was performed for the period 1985-2008 in the city of Rotterdam. The spatial distribution of the concentrations was modeled by the URBIS model. The modeling results for 2008 were validated by PM10 and EC measurements at various locations in Rotterdam. This paper describes the HIA...article 2011

(author)Substantial policy changes to control obesity, limit chronic disease, and reduce air pollution emissions, including greenhouse gasses, have been recommended. Transportation and planning policies that promote active travel by walking and cycling can contribute to these goals, potentially yielding further co-benefits.

(author), Atkinson, R.W. (author), Anderson, H.R. (author), Cassee, F.R. (author)Background: Current air quality standards for particulate matter use the PM mass concentration (PM10 or PM2.5) as a metric. It has been suggested that particles from combustion sources are more health relevant than particles from other sources, but the impact of policies directed at reducing particles from combustion processes is usually...article 2011
