- ALRI Acute lower respiratory infection
- AM Arithmetic mean
- BOD Burden of disease
- B-Pb Blood lead concentration
- COPD Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; group of related pulmonary diseases, most common form chronic bronchitis
- DALY Disability adjusted life year; burden of disease metric that combines years of life lost and years lived with disabilities (DALY=YLL+YLD)
- dB(A) Decibel (A-frequency weighing). Measure of noise level
- DW Disability weight, parameter used in defining magnitude associated with years lived with disability
- EBD Environmental burden of disease; BoD associated with defined environmental causes
- END European Noise Directive
- ERF Exposure-response function
- GBD Global Burden of Disease (WHO assessment)
- GM Geometric mean
- GSD Geometric standard deviation
- HSD High sleep disturbance; health endpoint associated with environmental noise exposures
- HTD Hypertensive disease
- ICT Impact calculation tool, probabilistic modelling tool run in Analytica environment
- IHD Ischaemic heart disease
- IQ Intelligence quotient
- L(day) Weighted noise level for daytime
- L(den) Weighted noise level for day-evening-night
- LE Life expectancy
- L(night) Weighted noise level for nighttime
- LRS Lower respiratory symptoms
- MI Myocardial infarction
- MMR Mild mental retardation
- MRAD Minor restricted activity days; health outcome defined in CAFE study for ozone
- OR Odds ratio
- PAF Population attributable fraction
- PCB Polychlorinated biphenyls, a chemical group of toxic compounds
- PM(10) Particulate matter with aerodynamic particle diameter smaller than 10 μm
- PM(2.5) Particulate matter with aerodynamic particle diameter smaller than 2.5 μm
- RAD Restricted activity days; health outcome defined in CAFE study for particulate matter
- RR Relative risk expressed either for the prevailing exposure level (in cohort studies) or normalized for a selected unit exposure, e.g. per 10 μg m-3
- SD Standard deviation
- SHS Second hand smoke; sometimes called also environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)
- TEQ Toxicity equivalent; a metric expressing the toxicity of a mixture of dioxins and PCBs as an equivalent amount of the most toxic compound, TCDD (original set of toxicity equivalency factors by WHO 1998, updated in 2005)
- UR Unit risk; population risk per an individual and unit exposure
- YLD Years lived with disability, a component of disease burden measured as DALYs
- YLL Years of life lost, a component of disease burden measured as DALYs
