Definition

Name

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

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