BACKGROUND Studies have shown that long‐term exposure to air pollution increases mortality. However, evidence is limited for air‐pollution levels below the most recent National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Previous studies involved predominantly urban populations and did not have the statistical power to estimate the health effects in underrepresented groups. METHODS We constructed an open cohort of all Medicare beneficiaries (60,925,443 persons) in the continental United States from the… CONTINUE READING

Since air pollution contains harmful toxicants, it is important for potential exposure to
indoor and outdoor air pollution to be considered as part of an overall health risk reduction… Expand
