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 …

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 …

Background Recent toxicological and epidemiological studies have shown associations
between particulate matter (PM) and adverse health effects, but which PM components are …

Background: Epidemiological studies have examined the association between PM2. 5 and
mortality, but uncertainty remains about the seasonal variations in PM2. 5-related effects and …

Background: Several studies have demonstrated associations between daily mortality and
ambient particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter (fine particles or PM2. 5). Few …

Background Several studies have reported associations between long-term exposure to
ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular mortality. However, the health …

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

Background: Although the association between PM2. 5 mass and mortality has been
extensively studied, few national-level analyses have estimated mortality effects of PM2. 5 …

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 …

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 …
