Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter
Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a major global health concern. Quantitative estimates of attributable mortality are based on disease-specific hazard ratio models that incorporate risk information from multiple PM 2.5 sources (outdoor and indoor air pollution from use of solid fuels and secondhand and active smoking), requiring assumptions about equivalent exposure and toxicity. We relax these contentious assumptions by co…
Long-term air pollution exposure and cardio- respiratory mortality
Current day concentrations of ambient air pollution have been associated with a range of adverse health effects, particularly mortality and morbidity due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. In this review, we summarize the evidence from epidemiological studies on long-term exposure to fine and coarse particles, nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and elemental carbon on mortality from all-causes, cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease. We al…
Health Cobenefits and Transportation-Related Reductions in Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the San Francisco Bay Area
Objectives. We quantified health benefits of transportation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE). Methods. Statistics on travel patterns and injuries, physical activity, fine particulate matter, and GHGE in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, were input to a model that calculated the health impacts of walking and bicycling short distances usually traveled by car or driving low-emission automobiles. We measured the change in di…
A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990–2010
A Multicounty Analysis Identifying the Populations Vulnerable to Mortality Associated with High Ambient Temperature in California
The association between ambient temperature and mortality has been established worldwide, including the authors' prior study in California. Here, they examined cause-specific mortality, age, race/ethnicity, gender, and educational level to identify subgroups vulnerable to high ambient temperature. They obtained data on nine California counties from May through September of 1999-2003 from the National Climatic Data Center (countywide weather) and …
The Global Burden of Disease Due to Outdoor Air Pollution
As part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burden of Disease Comparative Risk Assessment, the burden of disease attributable to urban ambient air pollution was estimated in terms of deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Air pollution is associated with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic health effects, the nature of which may vary with the pollutant constituents. Particulate air pollution is consistently and independent…
Asthmatic responses to airborne acid aerosols
BACKGROUND: Controlled exposure studies suggest that asthmatics may be more sensitive to the respiratory effects of acidic aerosols than individuals without asthma. This study investigates whether acidic aerosols and other air pollutants are associated with respiratory symptoms in free-living asthmatics. METHODS: Daily concentrations of hydrogen ion (H+), nitric acid, fine particulates, sulfates and nitrates were obtained during an intensive air …
Urban Air Pollution and Morbidity
Concern for efficiency in environmental policy and the recent Executive Order of the President have increased the importance of determining the risk of illness for exposure to urban air pollution. This paper uses data collected at the individual level to estimate the impact of air pollution on either work loss or days of restricted activity. The multiple regression analysis used in this study indicates that increases in air pollution are associat…
The Impact of Decentralization on the Journey-to-Work and Pollution
The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between urban spatial development, the journey to work, and central city air quality. Using a twostep model, we examine the effects of population/employment dispersion on auto work trip generation and the impact of trip making density on central city pollution. The results suggest that: (1) both population and job dispersal play a significant role in determining the spatial variation in trip ma…
