  text: Exploring the influence of green space characteristics and proximity on health
    via air pollution mitigation, our study analysed data from 1,365 participants
    across Porto, Nantes, Sofia, and H & oslash;je-Taastrup. Utilizing OpenStreetMap
    and the AID-PRIGSHARE tool, we generated nine green space indicators around residential
    addresses at 15 distances, ranging from 100m to 1500m. We performed a mediation
    analysis for these 135 green space variables and revealed significant associations
    between self-rated air pollution and self-rated health for specific green space
    characteristics. In our study, indirect positive effects on health via air pollution
    were mainly associated with green corridors in intermediate Euclidean distances
    (800-1,000m) and the amount of accessible green spaces in larger network distances
    (1,400-1,500m). Our results suggest that the amount of connected green spaces
    measured in intermediate surroundings seems to be a prime green space characteristic
    that could drive the air pollution mitigation pathway to health.
