Association between long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality in France: A 25-year follow-up study

Abstract: Long-term exposure to fine particles, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and benzene is associated with an increased risk of non-accidental mortality in France. Our results strengthen existing evidence that outdoor air pollution is a significant environmental risk factor for mortality. Due to the limited sample size and the nature of our study (occupational), further investigations are needed in France with a larger representative population sample.

“…The application of low‐cost particulate matter (PM) sensors is a fast growing area of research. It is long known that air pollution is an impediment to human health . Respirable particles, i.e., PM with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 µm, have especially been identified to cause health issues and lung cancer [6, 7].…”

“…26 Um estudo prospectivo sobre mortalidade na França identificou associação entre exposição contínua a poluentes atmosféricos e mortalidade por causas respiratórias. 27 O município de Uberaba/MG é uma cidade de médio porte e urbanizada, fato que pode refletir nas condições de saúde desta população, sendo necessárias investigações futuras que analisem a associação entre a poluição ambiental e a crescente morte por doenças do aparelho respiratório.…”

“…Des analyses récemment menées dans la cohorte CEA-AREVA NC-EDF ont également permis de prendre en compte l'exposition environnementale des travailleurs aux rayonnements ionisants (Fournier et al, 2018). D'autres exemples de prise en compte d'expositions environnementales dans des cohortes professionnelles existent, parmi lesquelles l'étude de la relation entre exposition à la pollution de l'air et mortalité au sein de la cohorte GAZEL (Bentayeb et al, 2015). Il serait donc techniquement envisageable d'appliquer cette démarche à d'autres cohortes professionnelles et à d'autres expositions environnementales.…”
