This comprehensive scientific review examines the evidence for associations between several adverse health effects and traffic-related air pollution (TRAP). The review, the largest of its type to date, was conducted by a panel of 13 renowned experts who evaluated 353 published scientific reports on traffic pollution and related health effects between 1980 and 2019.
HEI has just published its new Strategic Research Plan 2025–2030. This document will guide the organization’s scientific research and related activities through the next five years.
This report presents a study led by Klea Katsouyanni at Imperial College London. Katsouyanni and colleagues evaluated whether detailed estimates of long-term, personal exposures to outdoor air pollution yield better estimates of the health effects of exposure than less detailed approaches.
This report presents a study led by Kai Chen of the Yale School of Public Health. Chen and colleagues used the unique scenario of COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 to understand how a pause in human activity might affect day-to-day changes in air pollution and the resulting effects on health.
This report presents a study led by Megan Herting of the University of Southern California, a recipient of HEI’s 2019 Walter A. Rosenblith New Investigator Award. Herting and colleagues examined whether childhood and prenatal exposure to residential outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) was associated with neurodevelopment over a 1-year period in a nationally representative cohort of children ages 9–10 in the United States.
This report presents a study led by Gerard Hoek at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. Hoek and colleagues compared the performance of a suite of long-term exposure assessment models in the Netherlands for four air pollutants: ultrafine particles, black carbon, fine particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide.
This report presents a study led by Perry Hystad of Oregon State University. Hystad and colleagues examined whether reductions in traffic-related air pollution were associated with improved birth outcomes in Texas from 1996 to 2016.
This report presents a study led by Ole Raaschou-Nielsen of the Danish Cancer Institute. The research team investigated four traffic-related air pollutants (fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, ultrafine particulates, and elemental carbon), noise, and green space in relation to cardiometabolic health in 2.6 million adults in Denmark.
This report presents a study led by Sara Adar of the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. Adar and colleagues conducted a thorough accountability study of a program for replacing old diesel school buses with new, lower-emitting buses across the United States.
