Reducing Air Pollution Could Cut Rates of Childhood Asthma
Compliance with hypothetical standard of 20 ppb NO2 estimated to result in 20 percent reduction in asthma
Air Pollution Found to Accelerate Aging of the Lungs
Larger effects seen for people from lower-income households
Risk for Arterial Hypertension Up With Air Pollutant Exposure
Residential exposure linked to AH, reduced HDL cholesterol for individuals living in multistory houses
Exposure to Air Pollution May Impact Children’s Cognitive Abilities
Deficits seen in working memory, executive attention after prenatal, early childhood exposure
Exposure to Air Pollution May Affect Pulmonary Circulation
Larger peripheral total pulmonary vascular volume associated with long-term exposure to black carbon
Decreased Air Pollutants Linked to Less Childhood Asthma
Lower asthma incidence tied to decreases in NO2, PM2.5; no link found for ozone, PM10
Decrease in PM2.5-Related U.S. Mortality From 2010 to 2017
During the same period, ozone-related mortality remained mainly unchanged
