Papers

1. Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air PollutionJAMA · 2002 · 8,648 citations

   CONTEXT: Associations have been found between day-to-day particulate air pollution and increased risk of various adverse health outcomes, including cardiopulmonary mortality. However, studies of health effects of long-term particulate air pollution have been less conclusive. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship…

2. An Association between Air Pollution and Mortality in Six U.S. CitiesNew England Journal of Medicine · 1993 · 8,208 citations

   BACKGROUND: Recent studies have reported associations between particulate air pollution and daily mortality rates. Population-based, cross-sectional studies of metropolitan areas in the United States have also found associations between particulate air pollution and annual mortality rates, but these studies have…

3. Health Effects of Fine Particulate Air Pollution: Lines that ConnectJournal of the Air & Waste Management Association · 2006 · 6,840 citations

   Efforts to understand and mitigate thehealth effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollutionhave a rich and interesting history. This review focuseson six substantial lines of research that have been pursued since 1997 that have helped elucidate our understanding about the…

4. 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 2015The Lancet · 2017 · 6,800 citations

   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 of disease attributable to ambient air pollution from 1990 to 2015…

5. Particulate Matter Air Pollution and Cardiovascular DiseaseCirculation · 2010 · 6,629 citations

   In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on "Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease" concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In the interim, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of…

6. Particulate Air Pollution as a Predictor of Mortality in a Prospective Study of U.S. AdultsAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine · 1995 · 2,761 citations

   Time-series, cross-sectional, and prospective cohort studies have observed associations between mortality and particulate air pollution but have been limited by ecologic design or small number of subjects or study areas. The present study evaluates effects of particulate air pollution on…

7. Cardiovascular Mortality and Long-Term Exposure to Particulate Air PollutionCirculation · 2003 · 2,631 citations

   BACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies have linked long-term exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution (PM) to broad cause-of-death mortality. Associations with specific cardiopulmonary diseases might be useful in exploring potential mechanistic pathways linking exposure and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS: General pathophysiological…

8. Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matterProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · 2018 · 2,576 citations

   Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is a major global health concern. Quantitative estimates of attributable mortality are based on disease-specific hazard ratio models that incorporate risk information from multiple PM 2.5 sources (outdoor and indoor air…

9. Fine-Particulate Air Pollution and Life Expectancy in the United StatesNew England Journal of Medicine · 2009 · 2,333 citations

   BACKGROUND: Exposure to fine-particulate air pollution has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality, suggesting that sustained reductions in pollution exposure should result in improved life expectancy. This study directly evaluated the changes in life expectancy associated with differential changes…
