Particulate air pollution from different sources and mortality in 7.5 million adults — The Dutch Environmental Longitudinal Study (DUELS)

Background: Long-term exposure to particulate air pollution has been associated with mortality in urban cohort studies. Few studies have investigated the association between emission contributions from different particle sources and mortality in large-scale population registries, including non-urban populations.
