Time series models relating short-term changes in air pollution levels to daily mortality
counts typically assume that the effects of air pollution on the log relative rate of mortality do …

Abstract Evaluation of the public health impact of air quality regulations, referred to as
accountability research, is increasingly viewed as a necessary component of responsible …

Background Although many studies have examined the effects of air pollution on mortality,
data limitations have resulted in fewer studies of both particulate matter with an aerodynamic …

While time-series studies have consistently provided evidence for an effect of particulate air
pollution on mortality, uncertainty remains as to the extent of the life-shortening implied by …

Multicity time series studies of particulate matter and mortality and morbidity have provided
evidence that daily variation in air pollution levels is associated with daily variation in …

I examined the relationship between daily deaths and airborne particles in 10 US cities with
varying climatic conditions and seasons in which particle concentrations were high. Airborne …

Several epidemiologic studies have reported associations between respiratory disease and
particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2. 5) or fine particles. However, since …

BACKGROUND Epidemiologic time-series studies conducted in a number of cities have
identified, in general, an association between daily changes in concentration of ambient …

Background: Consistent evidence has shown increased all-cause mortality, and mortality
from broad categories of causes associated with airborne particles. Less is known about …

Many epidemiological studies provide evidence of an association between airborne
particles, measured as PM10 (particulate matter less than 10 μm in diameter), and daily …
