“…Among the new studies, four explored the association between NO 2 and all-cause mortality, two reported results consistent with our pooled analyses ( Lim et al, 2019 , Hvidtfeldt et al, 2019 ); an Australian study reported an association in the same direction ( Hanigan et al, 2019 ), while another Dutch study showed no clear association which may due to relatively shorter period of follow up ( Klompmaker et al, 2020 ). Three studies investigated the impact of NO 2 exposure on respiratory mortality: two showed a consistent direction of association ( Lim et al, 2019 , Hvidtfeldt et al, 2019 ) while no clear association was found in the Dutch cohort ( Klompmaker et al, 2020 ). Lim 2019 also found adverse associations for NO 2 concentrations and ALRI mortality, while the association was less clear for COPD mortality ( Lim et al, 2019 ).…”

“…We rapidly reviewed studies (n = 5) that published since our last search (Appendix Table B4 ). Two studies were conducted in the USA, NIH-AARP ( Lim et al, 2019 ) and Medicare beneficiaries ( Kazemiparkouhi et al, 2019 ); two studies conducted in Europe, including Danish Diet, Cancer and Health ( Hvidtfeldt et al, 2019 ) cohort and Dutch National Health Survey cohort ( Klompmaker et al, 2020 ) follow-up; and the “45 and up” cohort based in Australia ( Hanigan et al, 2019 ). All studies were conducted among general population rather than patient cohort.…”

Highlights 46 cohort studies assessed long-term concentrations of NO2 and O3 and mortality. Meta-analysis of 24 studies found increased risk of death associated with NO2. Weak associations were observed for peak period O3 and mortality. High levels of heterogeneity were observed. Certainty in NO2 associations with mortality was generally low/moderate.

“…There were suggestive adverse associations of both PM 2.5 and PM 10 with lung cancer mortality in an analysis of 49,564 participants in the Danish Diet, Cancer, and Health Cohort, but no associations with black carbon, NO 2 , or O 3 64 . However, there was no clear association of PM 2.5 , PM 10 , or NO 2 and lung cancer mortality among Dutch National Health Survey participants (n = 339,633), possibly because of the short follow‐up or other methodological characteristics of that study 65 . Among studies without individual‐level information on cigarette smoking history, in an analysis of approximately 4.9 million individuals in the Ontario Population Health and Environment Cohort, there were significant adverse associations of both ambient PM 2.5 (HR per 5.3 µg/m 3 , 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01‐1.05) and NO 2 (HR per 14 ppb, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.03‐1.07), but not O 3 or O x (combined oxidant capacity of NO 2 and O 3 ), and incident lung cancer 66 .…”

Outdoor air pollution is a major contributor to the burden of disease worldwide. Most of the global population resides in places where air pollution levels, because of emissions from industry, power generation, transportation, and domestic burning, considerably exceed the World Health Organization's health-based air-quality guidelines. Outdoor air pollution poses an urgent worldwide public health challenge because it is ubiquitous and has numerous serious adverse human health effects, including cancer. Currently, there is substantial evidence from studies of humans and experimental animals as well as mechanistic evidence to support a causal link between outdoor (ambient) air pollution, and especially particulate matter (PM) in outdoor air, with lung cancer incidence and mortality. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of lung cancer deaths annually worldwide are attributable to PM air pollution. Epidemiological evidence on outdoor air pollution and the risk of other types of cancer, such as bladder cancer or breast cancer, is more limited. Outdoor air pollution may also be associated with poorer cancer survival, although further research is needed. This report presents an overview of outdoor air pollutants, sources, and global levels, as well as a description of epidemiological evidence linking outdoor air pollution with cancer incidence and mortality. Biological mechanisms of air pollution-derived carcinogenesis are also described. This report concludes by summarizing public health/policy recommendations, including multilevel interventions aimed at individual, community, and regional scales. Specific roles for medical and health care communities with regard to prevention and advocacy and recommendations for further research are also described.

“…Fourth, mechanistic pathways are understudied. Further, the dynamic relationship between green space, air pollution, noise, temperature, and neighborhood walkability also warrant further exploration, as these factors could be both mediators or moderators of the nature–health relationship [ 143 , 144 ]. We also know little about the potential harms of exposure to nature, most commonly observed in studies of asthma and allergies.…”

There is extensive empirical literature on the association between exposure to nature and health. In this narrative review, we discuss the strength of evidence from recent (i.e., the last decade) experimental and observational studies on nature exposure and health, highlighting research on children and youth where possible. We found evidence for associations between nature exposure and improved cognitive function, brain activity, blood pressure, mental health, physical activity, and sleep. Results from experimental studies provide evidence of protective effects of exposure to natural environments on mental health outcomes and cognitive function. Cross-sectional observational studies provide evidence of positive associations between nature exposure and increased levels of physical activity and decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, and longitudinal observational studies are beginning to assess long-term effects of nature exposure on depression, anxiety, cognitive function, and chronic disease. Limitations of current knowledge include inconsistent measures of exposure to nature, the impacts of the type and quality of green space, and health effects of duration and frequency of exposure. Future directions include incorporation of more rigorous study designs, investigation of the underlying mechanisms of the association between green space and health, advancement of exposure assessment, and evaluation of sensitive periods in the early life-course.
