The Global Burden of Disease Due to Outdoor Air Pollution
@article{Cohen2005TheGB, title={The Global Burden of Disease Due to Outdoor Air Pollution}, author={A. Cohen and H. Ross Anderson and B. Ostro and K. D. Pandey and M. Krzyzanowski and N. K{\"u}nzli and K. Gutschmidt and A. Pope and I. Romieu and J. Samet and K. Smith}, journal={Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A}, year={2005}, volume={68}, pages={1301 - 1307} }
As part of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burden of Disease Comparative Risk Assessment, the burden of disease attributable to urban ambient air pollution was estimated in terms of deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs). Air pollution is associated with a broad spectrum of acute and chronic health effects, the nature of which may vary with the pollutant constituents. Particulate air pollution is consistently and independently related to the most serious effects, including… CONTINUE READING
