Erratum: “Associations of Fine Particulate Matter Species with Mortality in the United States: A Multicity Time-Series Analysis”
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have examined the association between PM2.5 and mortality, but uncertainty remains about the seasonal variations in PM2.5-related effects and the relative importance of species. OBJECTIVES We estimated the effects of PM2.5 species on mortality and how infiltration rates may modify the association. METHODS Using city-season specific Poisson regression, we e...
متن کاملImpact of covariate models on the assessment of the air pollution-mortality association in a single- and multipollutant context.
With the advent of multicity studies, uniform statistical approaches have been developed to examine air pollution-mortality associations across cities. To assess the sensitivity of the air pollution-mortality association to different model specifications in a single and multipollutant context, the authors applied various regression models developed in previous multicity time-series studies of a...
متن کاملAcute Effects of Ambient Particulate Matter on Mortality in Europe and North America: Results from the APHENA Study
BACKGROUND THE APHENA (AIR POLLUTION AND HEALTH: A Combined European and North American Approach) study is a collaborative analysis of multicity time-series data on the effect of air pollution on population health, bringing together data from the European APHEA (Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach) and U.S. NMMAPS (National Morbidity, Mortality and Air Pollution Study) projects, along...
متن کاملAssociations between Source-Specific Fine Particulate Matter and Emergency Department Visits for Respiratory Disease in Four U.S. Cities
BACKGROUND Short-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations has been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Determining which sources of PM2.5 are most toxic can help guide targeted reduction of PM2.5. However, conducting multicity epidemiologic studies of sources is difficult because source-specific PM2.5 is not directly measured, and source chemical co...
متن کاملEffects of Ambient Fine and Coarse Particles on Mortality in Phoenix, Arizona
Considerable attention has been given to the health effects of ambient air borne particulate matter as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revises the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Much of the recent focus has been on the effects of fine particles, with the establishment of additional monitoring platforms to measure both fine and coarse particles for epidemiological stud...
