An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. Cities

Although the effects of other, unmeasured risk factors cannot be excluded with certainty, these results suggest that fine-particulate air pollution, or a more complex pollution ...

Particulate Air Pollution as a Predictor of Mortality in a Prospective Study of U.S. Adults

Time-series, cross-sectional, and prospective cohort studies have observed associations between mortality and particulate air pollution but have been limited by ecologic design ...

Particulate air pollution as a predictor of mortality in a prospective study of U.S. adults.

Increased Mortality in Philadelphia Associated with Daily Air Pollution Concentrations

Cause-specific deaths by day for the years 1973 to 1980 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, were extracted from National Center for Health Statistics mortality tapes. Death from acci...

Effects of Inhalable Particles on Respiratory Health of Children

Results are presented from a second cross-sectional assessment of the association of air pollution with chronic respiratory health of children participating in the Six Cities St...

Respiratory Health and PM₁₀Pollution: A Daily Time Series Analysis

This study evaluated changes in respiratory health associated with daily changes in fine particulate pollution (PM10). Participants included a relatively healthy school-based sa...

Air pollution and daily mortality: Associations with particulates and acid aerosols

The association between total daily mortality and air pollution was investigated for a 1-year period (September 1985 through August 1986) in St. Louis and in the counties in eas...

Acute Health Effects of PM₁₀Pollution on Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Children

This study assessed the association between daily changes in respiratory health and respirable particulate pollution (PM10) in Utah Valley during the winter of 1990-1991. During...

Particulate Air Pollution and Daily Mortality in Steubenville, Ohio

Particulate air pollution has been associated with daily mortality in London, England, both in the smog episodes of the 1950s and at the lower pollution levels of the late 1960s...

Indoor-outdoor relationships of respirable sulfates and particles

Change in Pulmonary Function in Children Associated with Air Pollution Episodes

Pulmonary function of approximately 200 school children in Steubenville, OH was measured before and immediately following air pollution alerts in the fall of 1978 and 1979. TSP ...

Effects of Air Pollution on Adult Pulmonary Function

We conducted a study in three representative areas of Beijing to determine respiratory health effects of indoor and outdoor air pollution. In August 1986, we measured the lung f...
