Estimating ambient air pollutant concentrations outside and inside homes in the Subpopulations and Intermediate outcomes in COPD air pollution (SPIROMICS air) cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Valid, high-resolution estimates of population-level exposure to air pollutants are necessary for accurate estimation of the association between air pollution and the occurrence or exacerbation of adverse health outcomes such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

Objectives

We produced fine-scale individual-level estimates of ambient concentrations of multiple air pollutants (fine particulate matter [PM_2.5], NO_X, NO₂, and O₃) at residences of participants in the Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcomes in COPD Air Pollution (SPIROMICS Air) study, located in seven regions in the US. For PM_2.5, we additionally integrated modeled estimates of particulate infiltration based on home characteristics and m
