Soil-Air exchange controls on background atmospheric concentrations of organochlorine pesticides [PDF]
Soils are the major terrestrial reservoir of persistent organic pollutants, and thus net volatilization from soil, when it happens, may exert a control on the atmospheric occurrence and variability of organic pollutants.

Spatial variability of air pollutants in the Basel area and carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risk [PDF]
In environmental epidemiology, exposure assessment is a central topic as its quality determines in large part the validity of a study. Further, it is used in risk assessment to quantify the impact of environmental risk factors.

0315 Occupational exposure to air pollution and bladder cancer [PDF]
Objectives To present the rationale behind the qualitative IARC evaluation of outdoor air pollution and the new findings on bladder cancer derived from occupational epidemiological studies. Method The International Agency for Research on Cancer recently used a series of systematic reviews to classify ‘outdoor air pollution’ as carcinogenic to humans
