The Concentration-Response Relation Between PM\(_{2.5}\) and Daily Deaths.
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2002)
Particulate air pollution at commonly occurring concentrations is associated with daily deaths. Recent attention has focused on the shape of the concentration-response curve, particularly at low doses. Several recent ...
Mortality Risk Associated with Short-Term Exposure to Traffic Particles and Sulfates
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)
Background: Many studies have shown that airborne particles are associated with increased risk of death, but attention has more recently focused on the differential toxicity of particles from different sources. Geographic ...
Short-term Effects of Carbon Monoxide on Mortality: An Analysis within the APHEA Project
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)
Objectives: We investigated the short-term effects of carbon monoxide on total and cardiovascular mortality in 19 European cities participating in the APHEA-2 (Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach) project. Methods: ...
Chronic Fine and Coarse Particulate Exposure, Mortality, and Coronary Heart Disease in the Nurses’ Health Study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2009)
Background: The relationship of fine particulate matter < 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) air pollution with mortality and cardiovascular disease is well established, with more recent long-term studies reporting larger effect ...
Extreme Temperatures and Mortality: Assessing Effect Modification by Personal Characteristics and Specific Cause of Death in a Multi-City Case-Only Analysis
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2006)
Background: Extremes of temperature are associated with short-term increases in daily mortality. Objectives: We set out to identify subpopulations and mortality causes with increased susceptibility to temperature extremes. ...
Estimating the Exposure–Response Relationships between Particulate Matter and Mortality within the APHEA Multicity Project
(National Institue of Environmental Health Sciences, 2004)
Several studies have reported significant health effects of air pollution even at low levels of air pollutants, but in most of theses studies linear nonthreshold relations were assumed. We investigated the exposure–response ...
