There were elevated HRs but with large confidence intervals for BC (HR 1.17 [95 % confidence interval (CI): 0.98, 1.39] for 0.5*10(-5)/m), and for NO₂ (HR 1 [...] [95%CI: 0.96, 1.35] for 10 μg/m(3)). In RoLS, ESKD was associated with PM(2.5) (HR 1.37 [95 % CI: 1.06, 1.76] for an increase of 5 μg/m(3)), while there was no evidence of association with BC, NO(2), or O(3) [...] investigated the association of long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO₂),...

Health impact and related cost of ambient air pollution in Tehran (Publications)
economic impact associated with these health effects. Using PM2.5 data from ground-level air pollution measurements in Tehran, we estimated PM2.5 exposure for 349 neighborhoods in Tehran, by the Environmental [...] tal Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP-CE). We considered five scenarios related to PM2.5 levels: an increase to 35mug/m(3); a reduction to 25mug/m(3); a reduction to 15mug/m(3); a reduction [...] guideline value); and a full roll-back, assuming a reduction to 2.4mug/m(3)....
