| Abstract | A number of recent multicity studies have reported associations between ambient PM* and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular and respiratory hospitalizations. Some of these studies also suggested that specific components were more strongly associated with the health outcomes than others. However, specific components of PM responsible for the observed associations have not been established, and uncertainty remains about the methods to identify them. Furthermore, as regulatory decisions move toward the assessment of multiple air pollutants, the role of gaseous pollutants in the observed associations of PM and health outcomes needs to be examined. |
