Source apportionment may be useful in epidemiological investigation of PM health effects,
but variations and options in these methods leave uncertainties. An EPA-sponsored …

We analyzed the 1980 US vital statistics and available ambient air pollution data bases for
sulfates and fine, inhalable, and total suspended particles. Using multiple regression …

Background Large cohort studies have been used to characterise the association between
long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air pollution with non-accidental, and …

ABSTRACT In 1996, Schwartz, Dockery, and Neas1 reported that daily mortality was more
strongly associated with concentrations of PM2. 5 than with concentrations of larger particles …

Fine particle concentration (ie, particles< 2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter; PM2. 5), but
not coarse particle concentration, was associated with increased mortality in six US cities …

The authors investigated whether short-term effects of fine particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) on risk of cardiovascular and respiratory …

To investigate the possible relationship between airborne particulate matter and mortality,
we developed regression models of daily mortality counts using meteorological covariates …

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 …

Recent studies have associated particulate air pollution with daily mortality in a number of
US communities. This study sought to replicate those analyses in Cincinnati, Ohio, and to …

Fine particulate air pollution has been associated with increases in long-term mortality in
selected cohort studies, and this association has been influential in the establishment of air …
