title: Air pollution and health.
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.
