Effects of Socioeconomic Status on Colon Cancer Treatment Accessibility and Survival in Toronto, Ontario, and San Francisco, California, 1996–2006
Objectives. We examined the differential effects of socioeconomic status on colon cancer care and survival in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and San Francisco, California. Methods. We analyzed registry data for colon cancer patients from Ontario (n = 930) and California (n = 1014), diagnosed between 1996 and 2000 and followed until 2006, on stage, surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy, and survival. We obtained socioeconomic data for individuals’ residences …

Establishing the spatial variability of ambient nitrogen dioxide in Windsor, Ontario
This study is aimed at identifying the determinants of intra‐urban variation in ambient concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and to develop a model to predict NO2 in the city. NO2 samples were collected over a two‐week period during winter 2004 by using passive samplers in 50 locations across Windsor. A land use regression (LUR) model was constructed to generate independent variables that could best predict NO2 co…
The impact of 9/11 on the association of ambient air pollution with daily respiratory hospital admissions in a Canada‐US border city, Windsor, Ontario
The 11 September 2001 (9/11) terrorist attacks in the United States resulted in long lines of trucks at the border crossing in Windsor, Ontario. Public concern about the potential impact of these trucks spewing toxic pollutants into the air drew attention to the need to investigate the impact of 9/11 on the daily levels of air pollutants and respiratory hospitalization. In this study, significant increases in respiratory admissions were found one…

Air pollution and daily hospitalization rates for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases in London, Ontario
In this paper, we examine the role that ambient air pollution plays in exacerbating cardiovascular and respiratory disease hospitalization in London, Ontario from 1 November 1995 to 31 December 2000. The number of daily cardiac and respiratory admissions was linked to concentrations of air pollutants (sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, coefficient of haze, PM(10)) and weather variables (maximum and minimum of temperature a…
