The importance of the exposure metric in air pollution epidemiology studies: When does it matter, and why?
Exposure error in ambient air pollution epidemiologic studies may introduce bias and/or attenuation of the health risk estimate, reduce statistical significance, and lower statistical power. Alternative exposu...

Evaluating Alternative Exposure Metrics Used for Multipollutant Air Quality and Human Health Studies
Epidemiologic studies of air pollution have traditionally relied upon surrogates of personal pollutant exposures, such as ambient concentration measurements from fixed-site pollutant monitors. This study evalu...

The use of improved exposure factors in the interpretation of fine particulate matter epidemiological results
Multi-city population-based epidemiological studies have consistently reported a significant association between ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations and daily mortality. However, in these studi...

Development and Evaluation of Alternative Metrics of Ambient Air Pollution Exposure for Use in Epidemiologic Studies
Population-based epidemiologic studies of air pollution have traditionally relied upon imperfect surrogates of personal exposures, such as area-wide ambient air pollution levels based on readily available outd...

Development and Evaluation of Land-Use Regression Models Using Modeled Air Quality Concentrations
Land-use regression (LUR) models have emerged as a preferred methodology for estimating individual exposure to ambient air pollution in epidemiologic studies in absence of subject-specific measurements. Althou...

A Modeling Methodology to Support Evaluation of Public Health Impacts on Air Pollution Reduction Programs
Environmental public health protection requires a good understanding of the types and locations of pollutant emissions of health concern and their relationship to environmental public health indicators. Theref...

Modeling of Pollutant Transport and Removal during a Regional Sulfate Episode
As part of a multidisciplinary study performed for the National Commission on Air Quality, the phenomena of atmospheric transport and the removal of SO2 and SO4 = during a major regional sulfate episo...
