Air pollution and health

R K Severs. Tex Rep Biol Med. 1975.

Abstract

The effects of air pollution on human health are reviewed. Data from toxicology, epidemiology, clinical and laboratory exposures are presented as a basis for an emerging etiology. Sulfur dioxide, suspended particulates, nitrogen dioxide, photochemical oxidants, and carbon monoxide are examined as stress agents to the cardio-pulmonary system.
