Exposure assessment for air pollution epidemiology: A scoping review of emerging monitoring platforms and designs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both exposure monitoring and exposure prediction have played key roles in assessing individual-level long-term exposure to air pollutants and their associations with human health. While there have been notable advances in exposure prediction methods, improvements in monitoring designs are also necessary, particularly given new monitoring paradigms leveraging low-cost sensors and mobile platforms.

Objectives

We aim to provide a conceptual summary of novel monitoring designs for air pollution cohort studies that leverage new paradigms and technologies, to investigate their characteristics in real-world examples, and to offer practical guidance to future studies.

Methods

We propose a conceptual summary that focuses on two overarching types of monitoring design
