TL;DR: The largest declines in risk exposure from 2010 to 2019 were among a set of risks that are strongly linked to social and economic development, including household air pollution; unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing; and child growth failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regional Estimates of Chemical Composition of Fine Particulate Matter Using a Combined Geoscience-Statistical Method with Information from Satellites, Models, and Monitors.

TL;DR: This work develops geoscience-derived estimates of PM2.5 composition from a chemical transport model and satellite observations of aerosol optical depth and statistically fuse these estimates with ground-based observations using a geographically weighted regression over North America to produce a spatially complete representation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between gaseous ambient air pollutants and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Vancouver, Canada.

TL;DR: In this paper, the association between preterm birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) among singleton live births and ambient concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone in Vancouver, Canada, for 1985-1998.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new multipollutant, no-threshold air quality health index based on short-term associations observed in daily time-series analyses.

TL;DR: Analysis of sensitivity analyses provides evidence that the AQHI represents a valid approach to formulating an index with the objective of allowing people to judge the relative probability of experiencing adverse health effects from day to day.
