Background: The American Cancer Society study and the Harvard Six Cities study are 2
landmark cohort studies for estimating the chronic effects of fine particulate air pollution (PM …

Purpose Air pollution and smoking are associated with various types of mortality, including
cancer. The current study utilizes a publicly accessible, nationally representative cohort to …

Background Prospective cohort studies constitute the major source of evidence about the
mortality effects of chronic exposure to particulate air pollution. Additional studies are …

Background Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) air pollution has been linked to
increased risk of mortality, especially cardiopulmonary and lung cancer mortality. It is …

PURPOSE: We used Poisson regression methods to examine the relation between temporal
changes in the levels of fine particulate air pollution (PM2. 5) and the risk of mortality among …

Rationale: There is compelling evidence that acute and chronic exposure to ambient fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) air pollution increases cardiopulmonary mortality. However, the …

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

Background: Previous research has identified an association between fine particulate matter
(PM 2.5) air pollution and lung cancer. Most of the evidence for this association, however, is …

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 Exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution has been associated with
increased risk of cardiopulmonary and lung cancer morbidity and mortality, suggesting that …
