LUDOK - Dokumentationsstelle Luftverschmutzung und Gesundheit

Since 1985, LUDOK - the Swiss Literature Database on Air Pollution and Health has been collecting and cataloguing the literature published worldwide on the subject of air pollution and health on behalf of the Federal Office for the Environment. Our database contains more than 10'000 entries, primarily original, peer-reviewed work. For each entry there is a German summary and a link to PubMed. We comment on current topics in our newsletter, conduct literature searches and write reports.

We are happy to answer inquiries from the population, authorities and scientists personally via ludokswisstph.ch.
