Abstract The World Health Organization estimates 3.7 million deaths in 2012 in low-and
middle-income Asian countries due to outdoor air pollution. However, these estimates do not …

Increasing evidence points to an association of airborne pollutant exposure with respiratory,
cardiovascular, and neurological pathology. We examined whether or not ground-level …

Background Heavy fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM2. 5)
pollution events continue to occur frequently in developing countries. Objectives The authors …

Accurate estimates of human exposure is critical for air pollution health studies and a variety
of methods are currently being used to assign pollutant concentrations to populations …

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is associated with increased mortality. Although
epidemiology studies typically use outdoor PM2. 5 concentrations as surrogates for …

Abstract Purpose of Review Estimating health effects associated with source-specific
exposure is important for better understanding how pollution impacts health and for …

Background Population-based short-term air pollution health studies often have limited
spatiotemporally representative exposure data, leading to concerns of exposure …

Air pollution health studies of fine particulate matter (diameter≤ 2.5 μm, PM2. 5) often use
outdoor concentrations as exposure surrogates. Failure to account for variability of indoor …

We estimated PM 2.5 concentrations using satellite data and population mortality values for
cause-specific diseases and employed the integrated exposure–response model to obtain …

In recent years environmental epidemiologists have begun utilizing regional-scale air quality
computer models to predict ambient air pollution concentrations in health studies instead of …
