Background Long-term exposure to particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM 2.5)
has been consistently associated with risk of all-cause mortality. The methods used to …

Background Both short-and long-term exposures to fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μm; PM2.
5) are associated with mortality. However, whether the associations exist at levels below the …

Background: Exposure measurement error is a central concern in air pollution epidemiology.
Given that studies have been using ambient air pollution predictions as proxy exposure …

Background: The temporal and spatial scales of exposure assessment may influence
observed associations between fine particulate air pollution (PM 2.5) and mortality, but few …

Background Exposure measurement error is a concern in long-term PM 2.5 health studies
using ambient concentrations as exposures. We assessed error magnitude by estimating …

Background: Studies across the globe generally reported increased mortality risks
associated with particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μ m (PM 2.5) exposure …

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: Many studies have reported the associations between long-term exposure to
PM2. 5 and increased risk of death. However, to our knowledge, none has used a causal …

Background: Remote sensing (RS) is increasingly used for exposure assessment in
epidemiological and burden of disease studies, including those investigating whether …

Background: Dozens of cohort studies have associated particulate matter smaller than 2.5
µm in diameter (PM 2.5) exposure with early deaths, and the Global Burden of Disease …
