Summary: The study found that long-term exposure to road traffic noise is associated with increased risk of various causes of mortality, including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer, dementia, and psychiatric disorders.

Summary: The study found that for every 10 μg/m³ increase in NO2 concentration, there was a 1.00% increase in daily outpatient visits for conjunctivitis. Significant associations between NO2 and conjunctivitis were observed in the female population, people aged 18-65 years, and in the cold season. Moreover, NO2 was significantly associated with infective conjunctivitis, but not with allergic conjunctivitis and unspecified conjunctivitis.

Summary: The study evaluated the short-term associations between PM10 and NO2 concentrations and emergency department visits in Shanghai, China from 2008 to 2019. It found that the effects of NO2 on ED visits remained stable over time, while the effects of PM10 showed significant variations across different periods. Despite reductions in PM10 and NO2 concentrations, the short-term effects on ED visits for NO2 remained stable and even increased for PM10. More efforts are needed to reduce harmful components in air pollution mixture to mitigate the health hazards of air pollution.

Summary: This study investigated factors affecting the odds of schools in Greater London exceeding the WHO-recommended concentration of NO2. Transport-related factors were found to increase the likelihood of non-compliance, while distance from roads, green space, and vehicle speed were associated with reduced likelihood of exceeding the recommended NO2 concentration. The study suggests the importance of adopting clean fuel technologies, installing green barriers, and reducing motorised traffic to improve air quality for school-aged children in urban settings.

Summary: The study explores an integrated hybrid approach combining dispersion modeling and land use regression to predict daily NO2 concentrations with high spatial resolution in the New York tri-state area. The mixed model showed good prediction performance and R-LINE outputs significantly improved the CV R-2 in terms of overall, spatial, and temporal aspects. This hybrid approach allows for predicting daily NO2 at extremely high spatial resolution such as city blocks.

Summary: The increasing presence of air pollutants has led to environmental and health deterioration, causing a pressing concern for governments and organizations. To combat the decreased air quality, it is crucial for environmental agencies to measure trace gas atmospheric concentrations. This study aims to estimate ground NO2 by combining ground meteorological measurements with satellite observations using state-of-the-art Machine Learning models and feature selection algorithms.

Summary: Based on a nationwide survey, this study evaluated the associations between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations with the prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity. The results showed that increased levels of PM2.5 and NO2 were associated with higher prevalence of obesity and abdominal obesity. People in rural regions experienced stronger adverse effects than those in urban regions, and lower night light index values amplified the associations of PM2.5 and NO2 with obesity and abdominal obesity.

Summary: This study provides additional evidence on the increased risk of middle-term cardiovascular disorders posed by NO2 exposure. The findings suggest that policies controlling NO2 concentrations are beneficial in preventing cardiovascular diseases among Chinese adults.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ambient air pollution on hospital admissions for angina. The results showed that exposure to ambient particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone are associated with an increased risk of hospital admissions for angina. The association with nitrogen dioxide exposure was found to be the strongest.

Summary: This study developed a satellite-based ensemble machine learning model to predict 16-year NO2 levels in China and identified a high mortality burden attributed to NO2, which has significant implications for environmental policy making.

Summary: Most studies on the health effects of long-term exposure to air pollution have used traditional regression models, but few have applied causal inference approaches. In this study, we compared the associations between exposure to PM2.5 and NO2 and natural-cause mortality using both traditional Cox and causal models in a large cohort setting. The results showed consistent associations between air pollution exposure and natural-cause mortality using both approaches, although there were some differences in estimates among individual cohorts. Multiple modeling methods may help improve causal inference.

Summary: Short-term exposure to PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 is associated with increased risk of MI mortality, with NO2 showing a stronger association in older adults.

Summary: The study indicates that long-term exposure to NO2 may contribute to the development of diabetes and dyslipidemia, and the associations are potentially independent of O-3 and PM2.5.

Summary: This study examined the associations between multiple particulate matter and gaseous air pollutants and inflammatory cytokines. The findings suggest that these associations are generally weak, and further research is needed to clarify the specific mechanisms.
