Although some consensus has emerged among the scientific and regulatory communities
that the urban ambient atmospheric mix of combustion related pollutants is a determinant of …

Previously we reported that fine particle mass (particulate matter [less than and equal to] 2.5
microm; PM (2.5)), which is primarily from combustion sources, but not coarse particle mass …

We review epidemiologic studies of particulate air pollution and mortality in US cities with
respect to important methodologic issues. Many of these studies suffer from serious …

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

We evaluated the relationship between daily levels of particulate and gaseous phase
pollutants and mortality within a dynamic cohort of approximately 550,000 individuals whose …

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

Objective: Determine the risk of premature mortality due to the urban ambient air pollution
mix in Canada. Methods: The number of daily deaths for non-accidental causes were …

We evaluated the association between mortality outcomes in elderly individuals and
particulate matter (PM) of varying aerodynamic diameters (in micrometers)[PM (10), PM …

Time series models relating short-term changes in air pollution levels to daily mortality
counts typically assume that the effects of air pollution on the log relative rate of mortality do …

In this paper, we present national maps of relative rates of mortality associated with short-
term exposure to particulate matter< 10 micro m in aerodynamic diameter (PM (10)). We …
