Land Use Regression (LUR) models have been used increasingly for modeling small-scale
spatial variation in air pollution concentrations and estimating individual exposure for …

Estimating within-city variability in air pollution concentrations is important. Land use
regression (LUR) models are able to explain such small-scale within-city variations …

Background Evidence is growing for the beneficial impacts of natural outdoor environments
on health. However, most of the evidence has focused on green spaces and little evidence …

Background Ambient air pollution has been associated with restricted fetal growth, which is
linked with adverse respiratory health in childhood. We assessed the effect of maternal …

The ESCAPE study (European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects) investigates
relationships between long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution and health using cohort …

Background The aims of this study were to explore associations of the distance and use of
urban green spaces with the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and its risk …

Background: Green spaces have been associated with both health benefits and risks in
