ESCAPE - "Effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on health in European cohorts"(2008-2011)
The study investigates effects of long-term exposure to air pollution in Europe on human health. Current estimates of the European health impact of fine airborne particles in particular are large. However, these are primarily based on exposure-response relationships established in studies from North America. There is an urgent need to perform studies in Europe on current exposures, and to use refined exposure assessment tools.
