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 …

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

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 …

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

Background: Although serious health effects associated with particulate matter (PM) with
aerodynamic diameter≤ 10 μm (PM10) and≤ 2.5 μm (PM2. 5; fine fraction) are documented …

Airborne particles have been linked to increased mortality and morbidity. As most research
has focused on fine particles (PM 2.5), the health implications of coarse particles (PM 10 …

Background Air pollution in cities has been linked to increased rates of mortality and
morbidity in developed and developing countries. Although these findings have helped lead …

Background The APHENA (Air Pollution and Health: A Combined European and North
American Approach) study is a collaborative analysis of multicity time-series data on the …

Rationale: The associations between ambient coarse particulate matter (PM2. 5–10) and
daily mortality are not fully understood on a global scale. Objectives: To evaluate the short …
