Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemiological data on air particulate matter and adverse health outcomes in China, and to estimate the exposure_response relationships. Methods An electronic search of relevant literature was conducted to determine the exposure_response relationship for each health outcome associated with exposure to air particulate matter, and the approach of Meta_analysis was used when there were several studies describing the same health endpoint. Results For each health outcome from morbidity to mortality changes, the relative risks were estimated when the concentration of air particulate matter increased some certain units. Conclusion The exposure_response relationships described here might be further applied to health risk assessment of air particulate matter in China.
