Local Violence as an Environmental Exposure with Increasing Relevance under Climate Change
Violent crime is increasing worldwide with climate change and ambient heat, with greater increases projected in communities already high in crime or lacking resources for mitigation, exacerbating inequities in exposures and health. Our work has shown that violent crime-as a severe psychosocial stressor-can exacerbate effects of climate-related heat and pollution on health. In addition, as heat is associated with greater violence, and both heat an…
Geocoding Error, Spatial Uncertainty, and Implications for Exposure Assessment and Environmental Epidemiology
Although environmental epidemiology studies often rely on geocoding procedures in the process of assigning spatial exposure estimates, geocoding methods are not commonly reported, nor are consequent errors in exposure assignment explored. Geocoding methods differ in accuracy, however, and, given the increasing refinement of available exposure models for air pollution and other exposures, geocoding error may account for an increasingly larger prop…
Putting Co-Exposures on Equal Footing
Epidemiologic evidence consistently links urban air pollution exposures to health, even after adjustment for potential spatial confounding by socioeconomic position (SEP), given concerns that air pollution sources may be clustered in and around lower-SEP communities. SEP, however, is often measured with less spatial and temporal resolution than are air pollution exposures (i.e., census-tract socio-demographics vs. fine-scale spatio-temporal air p…
Violent crime and socioeconomic deprivation in shaping asthma-related pollution susceptibility
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to quantify and compare the relative influence of community violent crime and socioeconomic deprivation in modifying associations between ozone and emergency department (ED) visits for asthma among children. METHODS: We used a spatiotemporal case-crossover analysis for all New York City EDs for the months May-September from 2005 to 2011 from a statewide administrative ED dataset. The data included 11 71…
Fine-Scale Source Apportionment Including Diesel-Related Elemental and Organic Constituents of PM2.5 across Downtown Pittsburgh
Health effects of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) may vary by composition, and the characterization of constituents may help to identify key PM 2.5 sources, such as diesel, distributed across an urban area. The composition of diesel particulate matter (DPM) is complicated, and elemental and organic carbon are often used as surrogates. Examining multiple elemental and organic constituents across urban sites, however, may better capture variation…
Spatial Patterns in Rush-Hour vs. Work-Week Diesel-Related Pollution across a Downtown Core
Despite advances in monitoring and modelling of intra-urban variation in multiple pollutants, few studies have attempted to separate spatial patterns by time of day, or incorporated organic tracers into spatial monitoring studies. Due to varying emissions sources from diesel and gasoline vehicular traffic, as well as within-day temporal variation in source mix and intensity (e.g., rush-hours vs. full-day measures), accurately assessing diesel-rel…
