    • Association of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution with blood pressure and hypertension in an adult population-based cohort in Spain (the REGICOR study) 

      Foraster, María; Basagaña Flores, Xavier; Aguilera, Inmaculada; Rivera, Marcela; Agis Cherta, David; Bouso, Laura; Deltell, Alexandre; Marrugat, Jaume; Ramos, Rafel; Sunyer, Jordi; Vila, Joan; Elosua, Roberto; Künzli, Nino (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2014-04-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Background: Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution may increase blood pressure (BP) and induce hypertension. However, evidence supporting these associations is limited, and they may be confounded by exposure ...

    • High blood pressure and long-term exposure to indoor noise and air pollution from road traffic. 

      Foraster, María; Künzli, Nino; Aguilera, Inmaculada; Rivera, Marcela; Agis Cherta, David; Vila, Joan; Bouso, Laura; Deltell, Alexandre; Marrugat, Jaume; Ramos, Rafel; Sunyer, Jordi; Elosua, Roberto; Basagaña Flores, Xavier (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2014-11-01)
      Article
      Open Access
      Traffic noise has been associated with prevalence of hypertension, but reports are inconsistent for blood pressure (BP). To ascertain noise effects and to disentangle them from those suspected to be from traffic-related ...

    • Short-term effects of particulate matter on mortality during forest fires in Southern Europe: results of the MED-PARTICLES Project

      Article
      Open Access
      An association between occurrence of wildfires and mortality in the exposed population has been observed in several studies with controversial results for cause-specific mortality. In the Mediterranean area, forest fires ...

    • The risks of acute exposure to black carbon in Southern Europe: results from the MED-PARTICLES project 

      Ostro, Bart; Tobias Garcés, Aurelio; Karanasiou, Angeliki; Samoli, Evangelia; Querol, Xavier; Rodopoulou, Sophia; Basagaña Flores, Xavier; Eleftheriadis, Kostas; Diapouli, Evangelia; Vratolis, Stergios; Jacquemin, Bénédicte; Katsouyanni, Klea; Sunyer, Jordi; Forastiere, Francesco; Stafoggia, Massimo; Study Group, MED-PARTICLES; Agis Cherta, David (2015-01-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      While several studies have reported associations of daily exposures to PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 µm) with mortality, few studies have examined the impact of its constituents such as black carbon (BC), which is also a ...
