Recent epidemiologic studies have consistently reported increased daily mortality
associated with exposures to particulate air pollution. Currently, particulate mass is …

The association between total daily mortality and air pollution was investigated for a 1-year
period (September 1985 through August 1986) in St. Louis and in the counties in eastern …

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 …

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

Several epidemiologic studies have reported associations between respiratory disease and
particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2. 5) or fine particles. However, since …

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 …

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 …

Many epidemiological studies provide evidence of an association between ambient
particles, measured as PM10, and daily mortality. Most of these studies have been …

Particulate air pollution has been associated with increased mortality during episodes of
high pollution concentrations. The relationship at lower concentrations has been more …

Objective Several epidemiologic studies provide evidence of an association between daily
mortality and particulate matter< 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2. 5). Little is known, however, about …
