Scope
Concentration-response to PM2.5 describes the quantitative dose-response relationships between outdoor air PM2.5 concentration and mortality due to cardio-pulmonary, lung cancer and other non-accidental causes.

Definition

Name

Dose-response coefficient relating outdoor air PM2.5 concentration and mortality due to cardio-pulmonary, lung cancer and other non-accidental causes.

Causality

List of parents:

  • None

Data

List of data files or sources:

  • Dockery et al. 1993[1]
  • Pope et al. 2002[2]

Formula

The model randomly samples between the effect estimates provided by the two studies. See Image:Gasbus model 01.ANA.

Unit

m3/μg

Result

These coefficients are defined as distributions around estimates of central tendency for each cause of death.
