| Abstract: | Based on a systematic review of literature on adverse health effects of air pollution, the World Health Organization has updated
its Air Quality Guidelines in 2005. The current update is intended to be relevant and applicable worldwide and takes into
consideration large regional inequalities in exposures to air pollution. It recommends guideline levels for particulate matter,
ozone, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, as well as the set of interim targets for these pollutants’ concentrations, encouraging
gradual improvement of air quality and reduction of health impacts of the pollution.
