While time series analyses have demonstrated that airborne particles are associated with
early death, they have not clarified how much the deaths are advanced. If all of the pollution …

A number of studies have recently shown an association between particle concentrations in
outdoor air and daily mortality counts in urban locations. In the public health interpretation of …

While time-series studies have consistently provided evidence for an effect of particulate air
pollution on mortality, uncertainty remains as to the extent of the life-shortening implied by …

The air pollution disasters in London in 1952, the Meuse valley in 1930, and in Donoroa,
Pennsylvania, in 1948 made it clear that extremely high levels of particulate-based smog …

Although many studies have shown that airborne particles are associated with increased
daily death and hospitalization rates, some have questioned whether these events are …

Several recent studies have reported associations between common levels of particulate air
pollution and small increases in daily mortality. This study examined whether a similar …

Background To avoid the usual problems of multi-population correlation studies of air
poilution and mortality, and for reasons of convenience, daily time-series mortality studies …

Episodes of high concentrations of particulate-based fog were associated with substantial
increases in daily mortality earlier in this century. The sharp rise and fall of mortality with …

This study reassessed Schwartz and Dockery's analysis of daily mortality from nonexternal
causes among residents of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, over 8 years, from 1973 to 1980 …

Analyses involving data from many locations throughout the world have now been
conducted to assess the association between air pollution and mortality. To date, six …
