  • Description:
    The effect of air pollution on health been the subject of numerous epidemiologic studies. Some of these studies were based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Chestnut et al. used NHANES I data to examine the effect of total suspended particulates on lung functions in adults, and Schwartz used NHANES II data to investigate the effect of total suspended particulates, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone on lung function in children. More recently, Schwartz linked particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide to NHANES III respondents to examine blood markers of cardiovascular risk; the results provided supporting biological plausibility for studies of air pollution and mortality. However, these studies did not systematically address coverage issues resulting from the absence of air pollution monitors near respondents' places of residence and the potential effect of these issues on resulting exposure estimates. - p. 1
