Excerpt
Excerpt: On both sides of the Atlantic, research advisory boards have emphasized the need for the investigation of long-term health effects of outdoor air pollution (1?3). Although air pollution-related health effects have received considerable attention and funding in the last two decades, efforts have focused primarily on short-term effects through controlled exposure studies and a variety of epidemiologic study designs (4?8). A few longitudinal studies (9?11) and many cross-sectional studies have evaluated potential long-term health effects. However, additional epidemiologic studies are needed to evaluate potential long-term health effects of exposures to ambient air pollution. In particular, such studies should be able to provide reasonable estimates of past exposures that extend over many years, either for groups (populations) or individuals. These studies also are needed to better estimate the public health impact of air pollution and the benefit of air pollution control (12).
