Response to “Quantifying the health impacts of ambient air pollutants: methodological errors must be avoided”
We thank Morfeld and Erren for their interest in our recent publication on “Quantifying the health impacts of ambient air pollutants: recommendations of a WHO/Europe project” (Héroux et al. 2015).
