Statistical Analysis of Air Pollution Panel Studies: An Illustration

Statistical analysis of air pollution panel studies: an illustration.

PURPOSE The panel study design is commonly used to evaluate the short-term health effects of air pollution. Standard statistical methods are available for analyzing longitudinal data, but the literature reveals that these methods are poorly understood by practitioners. METHODS We review standard statistical methods for modeling longitudinal data. Marginal, conditional, and transitional approa...

Analysis of Air Pollution

This research paper is an attempt towards analyzing real time air pollution data collected by PAQS sensor devices from some key locations in Bangalore. Air pollution in most of the metropolitan cities in India is turning out to be a major threat to our environment and hazardous to our health. Many infections and diseases related to lungs and throat are caused by the polluted air we breathe. The...

An Assessment of Air Pollution Exposure Information for Health Studies

Most studies of air pollution health effects are based on outdoor ambient exposures, mainly because of the availability of population-based data and the need to support emission control programs. However, there is also a large body of literature on indoor air quality that is more relevant to personal exposures. This assessment attempts to merge these two aspects of pollution-related health effe...
