Health and economic cost estimates of short-term total and wildfire PM2.5 exposure on work loss: using the consecutive California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data 2015-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Instruction

To help determine the health protectiveness of government regulations and policies for air pollutant control for Americans, our study aimed to investigate the health and economic impacts of work loss due to sickness associated with daily all-source and wildfire-specific PM_2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 μm) exposures in California.

Methods

We linked the 2015-2018 California Health Interview Survey respondents' geocoded home addresses to daily PM_2.5 estimated by satellites and atmospheric modelling simulations and wildfire-related PM_2.5 from Community Multiscale Air Quality models. We calculated and applied the coefficient for the association between daily PM_2.5 exposure and work los
