I examined the relationship between daily deaths and airborne particles in 10 US cities with
varying climatic conditions and seasons in which particle concentrations were high. Airborne …

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

Some recent epidemiologic studies suggest a stronger effect of fine particles (PM2. 5) than
of coarser particulate matter. To examine the support for such a differential effect, the authors …

Background: While exposure to ambient fine particles< 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM
2.5) has well-established health effects, there is limited quantitative evidence that links …

Background: Evidence of health risks associated with ambient airborne fine particles in
nonurban populations is extremely limited. Objective: We estimated the risk of …

++ Epidemiologic studies have focused attention on the health effects of fine particulate air
pollutants< 2.5 microm in diameter (PM2. 5). To further characterize the potential effects of …

Background: Consistent evidence has shown increased all-cause mortality, and mortality
from broad categories of causes associated with airborne particles. Less is known about …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with adverse health outcomes. There has
long been a question as to whether some components of the PM mixture are of greater …

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 …

Although the association between exposure to ambient fine particulate matter with
aerodynamic diameter< 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) and human mortality is well established, the most …
