Traffic-related air pollution and obesity formation in children: a longitudinal, multilevel analysis. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundBiologically plausible mechanisms link traffic-related air pollution to metabolic disorders and potentially to obesity. Here we sought to determine whether traffic density and traffic-related air pollution were positively associated with growth
