متن کاملChemical Properties of Air Pollutants and Cause-Specific Hospital Admissions among the Elderly in Atlanta, Georgia
BACKGROUND Health risks differ by fine particle (aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) component, although with substantial variability. Traditional methods to assess component-specific risks are limited, suggesting the need for alternative methods. OBJECTIVES We examined whether the odds of daily hospital admissions differ by pollutant chemical properties. METHODS We categorized pollutants by che...
