BACKGROUND
Recent studies have reported associations between particulate air pollution and daily mortality rates. [] Key Method Survival analysis, including Cox proportional-hazards regression modeling, was conducted with data from a 14-to-16-year mortality follow-up of 8111 adults in six U.S. cities.
RESULTS
Mortality rates were most strongly associated with cigarette smoking.

Increased mortality is associated with sulfate and fine particulate air pollution at levels commonly found in U.S. cities, although the increase in risk is not attributable to tobacco smoking, although other unmeasured correlates of pollution cannot be excluded with certainty.
