The recent proliferation of cohort studies of long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate air
pollution and mortality has led to a significant increase in knowledge about this important …

Background: Estimating the burden of disease attributable to long-term exposure to fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) in ambient air requires knowledge of both the shape and …

Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a major global health concern.
Quantitative estimates of attributable mortality are based on disease-specific hazard ratio …

Since the publication of the first epidemiological study to establish the connection between
long‐term exposure to atmospheric pollution and effects on human health, major efforts …
