Abstract:
|
Risk and benefit-cost analyses supporting the review of the PM NAAQS require the use of concentration-response (C-R) functions derived from the epidemiological literature. In early analyses, C-R functions were developed based on the results of epidemiological studies in individual cities or urban areas. These individual city estimates were used to develop city specific risk estimates and national level health impact estimates for use in benefit-cost analyses. For nationwide analyses, estimates based on applying C-R functions derived from individual city studies were pooled to develop estimates with improved representation of between city variability in the C-R functions. Recently, epidemiology studies using multiple cities have been published (e.g., Domenici et al, 2008).
