OSTI ID:6804679
The first section of the book is concerned with background and theoretical framework. Some topics discussed are factors affecting the shape of the analysis; factors affecting mortality; laboratory versus natural experiments; and problems of estimation. The second section is concerned with cross-sectional analysis of U.S. standard metropolitan statistical areas. Some topics discussed are total U.S. mortality; disaggregated mortality rates; effects of occupation, mix, climate, and home heating; and interactions between air pollutants. The third section is concerned with annual and daily time-series analysis. Cross-sectional time-series analysis and the relationship between mortality and daily air pollution are discussed. Policy implications are discussed with regard to benefits and costs of air pollution abatement. (HLW)
