    • BACKGROUND Particulate air pollution episodes have been associated with increased daily death. [...] Key Method The effect of the ban on age-standardised death rates was estimated with an interrupted time-series analysis, adjusting for weather, respiratory epidemics, and death rates in the rest of Ireland. FINDINGS Average black smoke concentrations in Dublin declined by 35.6 mg/m(3) (70%) after the ban on coal sales.Expand Abstract
