[Effects on health of particulate air pollution in Denmark--a quantitative assessment].

Introduction: Ambient air pollution is a risk factor for mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to quantify the health effects related to particulate matter (PM10) in Denmark.

Materials And Methods: We used relative risk estimates in relation to PM10 based on the epidemiological literature.

Modeling Traffic-Related Air Pollution in Street Canyons of Beijing.

It is important to develop a general model to accurately simulate the air pollution in urban street areas. In this paper, the Operational Street Pollution Model (OSPM) initially developed in Denmark is tested with measured data from a relatively wide and open street in Beijing. Major factors influencing the dispersion, such as emission factors, stationary source emissions, and solar radiation, are analyzed.
