The main sources of air pollution are area sources (dry cleaners, lawn mowers, etc.), mobile sources (cars, trucks, off-road equipment), and stationary sources (factories, power plants, etc.). These different sources produce different types of pollutants that can cause problems for respiratory health, cardiovascular health, and cancer treatment. Locating sensitive land uses in close proximity to polluting facilities or major roadways can raise health concerns for sensitive populations. Some pollutants tend to have a greater effect over an entire metropolitan area and others drop off fairly quickly away from the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Health and Places Initiative (HAPI)&nbsp;Research Brief<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/55\/files\/2014\/10\/HAPI-Air-Quality-102814-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Air Quality, Health, and Place<\/a>&nbsp;[PDF]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>External Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/research.gsd.harvard.edu\/healthy\/research\/research-briefs\/research-brief-resources\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\">View External Resources on Air Quality<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Quality Good air quality is key to promoting respiratory health and the Health and Places Initiative (HAPI) addresses it in the following materials.
