Hertel has contributed to a number of recent papers, several of which address the effects of low-level ambient air pollution on health outcomes across large European cohorts. Notable publications include:

  • Long-term exposure to low ambient air pollution concentrations and mortality among 28 million people: results from seven large European cohorts within the ELAPSE project, 2022, The Lancet Planetary Health
  • Long term exposure to low level air pollution and mortality in eight European cohorts within the ELAPSE project: pooled analysis, 2021, BMJ
  • Long-term exposure to low-level ambient air pollution and incidence of stroke and coronary heart disease: a pooled analysis of six European cohorts within the ELAPSE project, 2021, The Lancet Planetary Health
  • Long-term low-level ambient air pollution exposure and risk of lung cancer - A pooled analysis of 7 European cohorts, 2020, Environment International
  • Lifelong exposure to air pollution and greenness in relation to asthma, rhinitis and lung function in adulthood, 2020, Environment International

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Hertel include Jørgen Brandt, Matthias Ketzel, Zorana Jovanovic Andersen, Jeanette T. Jørgensen, and Barbara Hoffmann.

Publication venues where Hertel regularly appears include ISEE Conference Abstracts, Environment International, Environmental Research, SSRN Electronic Journal, and The Science of The Total Environment.

Ole Hertel has also contributed to book literature, with a publication titled Luftforurening og sundhed in 2020 through Aarhus University Press.
