Spatiotemporal Changes in Fine Particulate Matter Pollution and the Associated Mortality Burden in China between 2015 and 2016.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, research on the spatiotemporal distribution and health effects of fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) has been conducted in China. However, the limitations of different research scopes and methods have led to low comparability between regions regarding the mortality burden of PM_2.5. A kriging model was used to simulate the distribution of PM_2.5 in 2015 and 2016. Relative risk (RR) at a specified PM_2.5 exposure concentration was estimated with an integrated exposure-response (IER) model for different causes of mortality: lung cancer (LC), ischaemic heart disease (IHD), cerebrovascular disease (stroke) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The population attributable fraction (PAF) was adopted to estimate deaths attributed
