Household Air Pollution from Coal and Biomass Fuels in China: Measurements, Health Impacts, and Interventions (2007, result): “…cities, the findings from cities in other countries; for example, studies of the ban on coal sales in Dublin, Ireland, documented sudden decreases in atmospheric concentrations of PM and SO2 as well as significant reductions in cardiovascular and respiratory death rates (Clancy et al. 2002).”
Airborne Particulate Matter and Human Health: A Review (2005, methodology): “Using data obtained prior to and following a 1990 law prohibiting sale of coal in the city of Dublin, Clancy et al. (2002) quantify decreases in concentrations of black smoke (Figure 4a) along with decreases in death rates from lung cancer and from lung and heart ailments (Figure 4b).”
Reduction in fine particulate air pollution and mortality: Extended follow-up of the Harvard Six Cities study. (2006, background): “Mortality in Dublin decreased by 8% after a 36- g/m3 decrease in average particulate air pollution (black smoke) due to a ban on coal sales (13).”
Nanoparticles: pharmacological and toxicological significance (2007, background): “In this regard, combustion-derived nanoparticles have been largely studied as a possible etiologic factor for several adverse health effects, including exacerbations of airways disease as well as deaths and hospitalization from cardiovascular disease (Clancy et al., 2002; Donaldson et al., 2005).”
Using natural experiments to evaluate population health interventions: new Medical Research Council guidance (2012, background): “…should apply equally to natural experimental studies. effect examples of suicide prevention, 16 indoor smoking bans 22 e 24 pollution control 25 show that simple designs can provide convincing evidence if a whole population is abruptly exposed to an intervention, and if the effects are…”
