Long-term exposure to low-level air pollution and greenness and mortality in Northern Europe. The Life-GAP project Open
Long term exposure to even low levels of air pollution is associated with mortality. Opening up for a long latency period, our findings indicate that air pollution exposures over time may be even more harmful than anticipated.
