Rationale: Cohort evidence linking long-term exposure to outdoor particulate air pollution
and mortality has come largely from the United States. There is relatively little evidence from …

Rationale: Although substantial scientific evidence suggests that chronic exposure to
ambient air pollution contributes to premature mortality, uncertainties exist in the size and …

Background Studies have shown that long-term exposure to air pollution increases mortality.
However, evidence is limited for air-pollution levels below the most recent National Ambient …

Chronic exposure to air pollution is associated with increased mortality rates. The impact of
air pollution relative to other causes of death in a population is of public health importance …

Rationale: Population-based studies have demonstrated associations between ambient air
pollution exposures and mortality, but few have been able to adjust for occupational …

Air pollution epidemiology studies have primarily investigated long-and short-term
exposures separately, have used multiplicative models, and have been associational …

Background: The assessment of air pollution exposure using only community average
concentrations may lead to measurement error that lowers estimates of the health burden …

Background Recent studies have reported associations between particulate air pollution
and daily mortality rates. Population-based, cross-sectional studies of metropolitan areas in …

Background The association between long-term exposure to air pollution and mortality from
cardiorespiratory diseases is well established, yet the evidence for other diseases remains …

Background Several studies have shown cross-sectional associations between long term
exposure to particulate air pollution and survival in general population or convenience …
