An Integrated Risk Function for Estimating the Global Burden of Disease Attributable to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure

• Richard T. Burnett, Christina Pope, +18 authors Aaron J. Cohen
• Environmental health perspectives
• 2014

BACKGROUND Estimating the burden of disease attributable to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in ambient air requires knowledge of both the shape and magnitude of the relative… (More)

BACKGROUND The Millennium Declaration in 2000 brought special global attention to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria through the formulation of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 6. The Global Burden of… (More)

Estimates and 25-year trends of the global burden of disease attributable to ambient air pollution: an analysis of data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2015

• Aaron J. Cohen, Michael Brauer, +26 authors Mohammad Hossein Forouzanfar
• The Lancet
• 2017

BACKGROUND Exposure to ambient air pollution increases morbidity and mortality, and is a leading contributor to global disease burden. We explored spatial and temporal trends in mortality and burden… (More)

Fine Particulate Matter Constituents and Cardiopulmonary Mortality in a Heavily Polluted Chinese City

• Junji Cao, Hongmei Xu, Qun Xu, Bingheng Chen, Haidong Kan
• Environmental health perspectives
• 2012

BACKGROUND Although ambient fine particulate matter (PM(2.5); particulate matter ≤ 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter) has been linked to adverse human health effects, the chemical constituents that… (More)

Season, Sex, Age, and Education as Modifiers of the Effects of Outdoor Air Pollution on Daily Mortality in Shanghai, China: The Public Health and Air Pollution in Asia (PAPA) Study

• Haidong Kan, Stephanie J London, +5 authors Bingheng Chen
• Environmental health perspectives
• 2008

BACKGROUND Various factors can modify the health effects of outdoor air pollution. Prior findings about modifiers are inconsistent, and most of these studies were conducted in developed countries. … (More)

Differentiating the effects of fine and coarse particles on daily mortality in Shanghai, China.

• Haidong Kan, Stephanie J London, +5 authors Bingheng Chen
• Environment international
• 2007

The findings on health effects of ambient fine particles (PM2.5) and coarse particles (PM10-2.5) remain inconsistent. In China, PM2.5 and PM10-2.5 are not the criteria air pollutants, and their… (More)
