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 …

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 …

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

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

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 …

++ 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 …

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

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 …

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 …

Rationale: A large body of epidemiologic literature has found an association of increased
fine particulate air pollution (PM2. 5) with acute and chronic mortality. The effect of …
