Scope

This includes a verbal definition of the spatial, temporal, and other limits
(system boundaries) of the variable. The scope is defined according to the use
purpose of the assessment(s) that the variable belongs to.

Exposure-response function for short-term (acute) exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter < 10 µm and lower respiratory symptoms (LRS). Lower respiratory symptoms include wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and cough.

Dimensions and boundaries relevant for the variable

• Age of exposed population
• Health status of the exposed population
• Country/other geographic area

Please include references (preferably using the <ref></ref> tags)
and links to original data, as appropriate.

CAFE CBA, CAFE-NEEDS

• Annual change of 1.30 (95% Cl 0.15, 2.43) in symptom days per adult with chronic respiratory symptoms per 10 µg/m³ PM10
  • Approximately 30% of adult population are estimated to have chronic respiratory symptoms
• Annual change of 1.86 (95% Cl 0.92, 2.77) in symptom days per child (general population) aged 5-14 per 10 µg/m³ PM10
