Background: Epidemiological studies have examined the association between PM2. 5 and
mortality, but uncertainty remains about the seasonal variations in PM2. 5-related effects and …

Background: Although the association between PM2. 5 mass and mortality has been
extensively studied, few national-level analyses have estimated mortality effects of PM2. 5 …

Background Recent toxicological and epidemiological studies have shown associations
between particulate matter (PM) and adverse health effects, but which PM components are …

Objective Several epidemiologic studies provide evidence of an association between daily
mortality and particulate matter< 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2. 5). Little is known, however, about …

Background: Although the association between exposure to particulate matter (PM) mass
and mortality is well established, there remains uncertainty about which chemical …

Background: Epidemiologic studies have reported associations between fine particles
(aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 µm; PM2. 5) and mortality. However, concerns have been …

In this paper, we present national maps of relative rates of mortality associated with short-
term exposure to particulate matter< 10 micro m in aerodynamic diameter (PM (10)). We …

Many epidemiologic studies provide evidence of an association between daily counts of
mortality and ambient particulate matter< 10 μm in diameter (PM10). Relatively few studies …

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 …

Background: The association between fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and mortality widely
differs between as well as within countries. Differences in PM 2.5 composition can play a …
