1. 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…

2. 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…

3. 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…

4. 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…
