Introduction Chronic pain is a public health priority that affects 18% of Dutch and 16% of German adults, representing a major societal burden. The Ems Dollart Region (EDR), which forms the northern part of the Dutch–German border area, is particularly characterised by lower incomes, more physically demanding jobs and lower health literacy, which are associated with higher pain prevalence. Individuals with lower socioeconomic status face greater pain-related disability and reduced quality of life. Public health cam …

Abstract Despite the well-established mechanisms of how ozone (O3) results in adverse health, it is not uncommon for population-based epidemiology studies to find evidence that lower O3 levels are associated with higher risks of disease. Common explanations, such as the scavenging of O3 by nitric oxide near traffic and differential measurement error, cannot fully explain these unexpected associations. Therefore, we propose an alternate explanation for counter-to-hypothesized associations for O3. Specifically, we hy …
