air pollution assessment studies
Why do we need accurate air pollution estimates?
Accurate estimates of human exposure to inhaled air pollutants are necessary for a realistic appraisal of the risks these pollutants pose and for the design and implementation of strategies to control and limit those risks.
What are air pollution health risk assessment tools?
Air pollution health risk assessment tools have different advantages when it comes to simplicity, consistency comparability, and quality assurance. These tools also help policymakers by providing necessary information to make action plans to reduce air pollutants by reducing the combustion of fossil fuels.
Can air pollution exposure assessment be applied to studies of respiratory disease?
Here advances in air pollution exposure assessment and their applications to studies of respiratory disease are reviewed, with a focus on recent studies of traffic-related air pollution and asthma.
Does socioeconomic status affect air pollution exposure?
This work provides a comprehensive review of the relationship between socioeconomic status and air pollution exposure, finding that low socioeconomic status areas are generally exposed to higher levels of criteria air pollutants throughout the world, although more studies are still needed especially in developing countries.
