Traffic-related air pollution and lung function in children at 8 years of age: a birth cohort study.
TLDR
Exposure to traffic-related air pollution during infancy affects lung function in children up to 8 years of age and particularly in those sensitized to common inhalant or food allergens.
Long-term exposure to air pollution from road traffic and lung function in children and adolescents
TLDR
Exposure to traffic-related air pollution during infancy was associated with decreased lung function, including in the small airways, in childhood and adolescence, which suggests that exposure in early life influences early lung growth and that lung function thereafter tracks with age.
Effects of Long-Term Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution on Lung Function in Children
TLDR
The current epidemiological evidence on the effect of traffic-related air pollution on lung function in children and adolescents is summarized, focusing in particular on time windows of exposure, small airway involvement, and vulnerable sub-groups in the population.
Exposure to traffic and lung function in adults: a general population cohort study
TLDR
High traffic exposure at the residential address was associated with lower than predicted FEV1 and FVC lung function compared with living further away in a large general population cohort, and particular effects on women and individuals with obstructive disease.
Air pollution exposure and lung function until age 16 years: the PIAMA birth cohort study
TLDR
Air pollution exposure may lead to increased airway obstruction, but not reduced lung volume in adolescence, and Associations with FEV1 were stronger in boys than girls and were not modified by asthma status.
Exposure to PM2.5 and Lung Function Growth in Pre- and Early-Adolescent Schoolchildren: A Longitudinal Study Involving Repeated Lung Function Measurements in Japan
TLDR
This nationwide longitudinal study suggests that concurrent, long-term exposure to PM2.5 at concentrations ranging from 10.4 to 19.0 μg/m3 has little effect on lung function growth in preadolescent boys or pre- to early-adolescent girls.
Prenatal, Early-life and Childhood Exposure to Air Pollution and Lung Function: The ALSPAC Cohort.
TLDR
Exposure to road-traffic PM10 during pregnancy may result in small but significant reductions in lung function at age 8 years, and at age 15 years, no adverse associations were seen with lung function.
Traffic exposure and lung function in adults: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study
TLDR
Higher traffic density was significantly associated with lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in women and this adds to growing evidence that chronic exposure to traffic related air pollution may adversely affect respiratory health.
Effects of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution on mortality and lung cancer
We assessed the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and cause-specific mortality and lung cancer incidence using data from an ongoing cohort study: the Netherlands Cohort Study on…

The effect of air pollution on lung development from 10 to 18 years of age.
TLDR
Current levels of air pollution have chronic, adverse effects on lung development in children from the age of 10 to 18 years, leading to clinically significant deficits in attained FEV as children reach adulthood.
Association between air pollution and lung function growth in southern California children: results from a second cohort.
TLDR
Findings provide important replication of the previous findings of an effect of air pollution on lung function growth that were based on the first fourth-grade cohort from the Children's Health Study (Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2000;162:1383-1390).
Road traffic and adverse effects on respiratory health in children.
TLDR
High rates of road traffic diminish forced expiratory flow and increase respiratory symptoms in children in Munich.
Childhood Asthma and Exposure to Traffic and Nitrogen Dioxide
TLDR
It is indicated that respiratory health in children is adversely affected by local exposures to outdoor NO2 or other freeway-related pollutants.
Association between lifetime ambient ozone exposure and pulmonary function in college freshmen--results of a pilot study.
TLDR
The strong relationship of lifetime ambient O3 on mid- and end-expiratory flows of college freshmen and the lack of association with FEV1 and FVC are consistent with biologic models of chronic effects of O3 in the small airways.
Association between air pollution and lung function growth in southern California children.
TLDR
The results suggest that significant negative effects on lung function growth in children occur at current ambient concentrations of particles, NO(2), and inorganic acid vapor.
Traffic related air pollution and incidence of childhood asthma: results of the Vesta case-control study
TLDR
The results suggest that traffic related pollutants might have contributed to the asthma epidemic that has taken place during the past decades among children.

Health effects of acid aerosols on North American children: pulmonary function.
TLDR
The data suggest that long-term exposure to ambient particle strong acidity may have a deleterious effect on lung growth, development, and function in children living in 24 communities in the United States and Canada.
Traffic, Susceptibility, and Childhood Asthma
TLDR
It is indicated that residence near a major road is associated with asthma and that in children with a parental history of asthma and in children moving to the residence after 2 years of age, there was no increased risk associated with exposure.
