    Eur J Epidemiol 18:671-5. 2003
    ..Separate analyses for the second time period showed weaker association between these pollutants and the health outcome. This study provides further evidence for short-term respiratory health effects of traffic related air pollution...

    Bente Oftedal
    Division of Epidemiology, Norwegian Institute of Public Health, Oslo, Norway
    Epidemiology 19:129-37. 2008
