An Approach to the Estimation of Chronic Air Pollution Effects Using Spatio-Temporal Information
利用时空信息估计长期空气污染效应
There is substantial observational evidence that long-term exposure to particulate air pollution is associated with premature death in urban populations. Estimates of the magnitude of these effects derive largely from cross-sectional comparisons of adjusted mortality rates among cities with varying pollution levels. Such estimates are potentially confounded by other differences among the populations correlated with air pollution, for example, socioeconomic factors. An…
