Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Mortality in 20 U.S. Cities, 1987–1994
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of five major outdoor-air pollutants on daily mortality rates in 20 of the largest cities and metropolitan areas in the United States from 1987 to 1994 were assessed, including PM10, ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and Mortality in 11 Cities of the Eastern United States
Frank C. Curriero,Karlyn S. Heiner,Jonathan M. Samet,Scott L. Zeger,Lisa J. Strug,Jonathan A. Patz +5 more
TL;DR: The authors found a strong association of the temperature-mortality relation with latitude, with a greater effect of colder temperatures on mortality risk in more-southern cities and of warmer temperatures inMore-northern cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Association Between Extreme Precipitation and Waterborne Disease Outbreaks in the United States, 1948–1994
TL;DR: The statistically significant association found between rainfall and disease in the United States is important for water managers, public health officials, and risk assessors of future climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
The built environment and obesity: A systematic review of the epidemiologic evidence
Jing Feng,Thomas A. Glass,Frank C. Curriero,Walter F. Stewart,Brian S. Schwartz,Brian S. Schwartz +5 more
TL;DR: A systematic search of the epidemiologic literature on built environment and obesity and identified 63 relevant papers, which were then evaluated for the quality of between-study evidence found very little between- Study similarity in methods in both types of approaches prevented estimation of pooled effects.
The National Morbidity, Mortality, and Air Pollution Study. Part II: Morbidity and mortality from air pollution in the United States.
Jonathan M. Samet,Scott L. Zeger,Francesca Dominici,Frank C. Curriero,I Coursac,Douglas W. Dockery,Joel Schwartz,Antonella Zanobetti +7 more
TL;DR: This work has identified an association between daily changes in concentration of ambient particulate matter (PM) and daily number of deaths (mortality) in a number of cities and single location studies in order to produce a summary estimate of the health effects of PM.
