Michael Jerrett,Altaf Arain,Pavlos S. Kanaroglou,Bernardo Beckerman,Dimitri Potoglou,Talar Sahsuvaroglu,Jason Morrison,Chris Giovis +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of models for assessing intraurban exposure under six classes, including proximity-based assessments, statistical interpolation, land use regression models, line dispersion models, integrated emission-meteorological models, and hybrid models combining personal or household exposure monitoring with one of the preceding methods is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
A GIS–Environmental Justice Analysis of Particulate Air Pollution in Hamilton, Canada:
Michael Jerrett,Richard T. Burnett,Pavlos S. Kanaroglou,John Eyles,Norm Finkelstein,Chris Giovis,Jeffrey R. Brook +6 more
TL;DR: This paper used a universal kriging procedure to interpolate data from twenty-three monitoring stations in Hamilton (1985-94) to develop an estimate of likely pollution values across the city based on annual geometric means and extreme events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do socioeconomic characteristics modify the short term association between air pollution and mortality? Evidence from a zonal time series in Hamilton, Canada
Michael Jerrett,Rick Burnett,Jeffrey R. Brook,Pavlos S. Kanaroglou,Chris Giovis,Norm Finkelstein,Brian Hutchison +6 more
TL;DR: Low educational attainment and high manufacturing employment in the zones significantly and positively modified the acute mortality effects of air pollution exposure, and increased mortality was associated with air pollution Exposure in a citywide model and in intra-urban zones with lower socioeconomic characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial analysis for environmental health research: concepts, methods, and examples.
Michael Jerrett,Richard T. Burnett,Mark S. Goldberg,Malcolm R. Sears,Daniel Krewski,Rachel Catalan,Pavlos S. Kanaroglou,Chris Giovis,Norm Finkelstein +8 more
TL;DR: To familiarize researchers and policymakers with this increasingly important approach, this work reviews spatial-analytic methods under three headings: visualization, exploration, and modeling to assist readers in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of specific methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health profiles of Hamilton: Spatial characterisation of neighbourhoods for health investigations
Isaac Luginaah,Michael Jerrett,Michael Jerrett,Susan J. Elliott,Susan J. Elliott,John Eyles,John Eyles,Kate Parizeau,Kate Parizeau,Stephen Birch,Stephen Birch,Tom Abernathy,Tom Abernathy,Gerry Veenstra,Gerry Veenstra,Brian Hutchinson,Brian Hutchinson,Chris Giovis,Chris Giovis +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, a mixed-methods approach was employed to study the determinants of health at the local level using specific neighborhoods in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and the results reveal a pattern of distinct neighbourhoods that will be used in subsequent quantitative and qualitative stages in the larger research program.
