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 …

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is associated with increased mortality. Although
epidemiology studies typically use outdoor PM2. 5 concentrations as surrogates for …

Background: Evidence indicates that air pollution contributes to cardiopulmonary mortality.
There is ongoing debate regarding the size and shape of the pollution–mortality exposure …

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 …

Background Understanding the shape of the relationship between long-term exposure to
ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) concentrations and health risks is critical for health …

Importance Ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air pollution is associated with
increased risk of several causes of death. However, epidemiologic evidence suggests that …

Background Approximately 2.9 million deaths are attributed to ambient fine particle air
pollution around the world each year (PM 2.5). In general, cohort studies of mortality and …

Epidemiologic evidence indicates that exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution (PM
2.5) contributes to global burden of disease, primarily because of increased risk of …

Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) has a large and well-documented global burden of
disease. Our analysis uses high-resolution (10 km, global-coverage) concentration data and …
