Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal modeling of ozone levels in Quebec (Canada): a comparison of kriging, land-use regression (LUR), and combined Bayesian maximum entropy-LUR approaches.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that errors of estimation in the interpolation of O3 concentrations with BME can be greatly reduced by incorporating outputs from a LUR model developed with readily available data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine particulate air pollution and systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease in two Canadian provinces.
Sasha Bernatsky,Sasha Bernatsky,Audrey Smargiassi,Cheryl Barnabe,Lawrence W. Svenson,Allan Brand,Randall V. Martin,Marie Hudson,Ann E. Clarke,Paul R. Fortin,Aaron van Donkelaar,Steven M. Edworthy,Patrick Bélisle,Lawrence Joseph +13 more
TL;DR: Estimating the degree to which fine particulate air pollution is associated with systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) suggested that PM2.5 exposure may be associated with an increased risk of SARDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Childhood Exposure to Ambient Air Pollutants and the Onset of Asthma: An Administrative Cohort Study in Québec.
Louis-François Tétreault,Mariève Doucet,Philippe Gamache,Michel Fournier,Allan Brand,Tom Kosatsky,Audrey Smargiassi +6 more
TL;DR: Asthma onset in children appears to be associated with residential exposure to PM2.5, O3 and NO2, and time-varying exposures to outdoor air pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the variation of land surface temperature as determinant of risk of heat-related health events
Yan Kestens,Allan Brand,Michel Fournier,Sophie Goudreau,Tom Kosatsky,Matthew Maloley,Audrey Smargiassi +6 more
TL;DR: A statistical approach to estimating surface temperature incorporating both spatially explicit satellite data and time-varying meteorological data may be relevant to assessing exposure to heat during the warm season in the Quebec.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine particulate air pollution, nitrogen dioxide, and systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease in Calgary, Alberta
Sasha Bernatsky,Sasha Bernatsky,Audrey Smargiassi,Markey Johnson,Gilaad G. Kaplan,Cheryl Barnabe,Lawrence W. Svenson,Allan Brand,Stefania Bertazzon,Marie Hudson,Ann E. Clarke,Paul R. Fortin,Steven M. Edworthy,Patrick Bélisle,Lawrence Joseph +14 more
TL;DR: In this urban Canadian sample, adjusting for demographics, exposure to PM2.5 was associated with an increased risk of SARDs and the results for NO2 were inconclusive.
