benefits fine health hospital levels lower matter means provide reduction terms
This means that a reduction in fine particulate matter levels should provide health benefits in terms of lower hospital admissions for the elderly.
complex contribute eastern factors might question regions various western
Identifying the various factors that might contribute to these differences between eastern and western regions is a very complex question that we must address.
cook days fine five happens increase matter quite
In Cook County, for example, about once every five days you'll have an increase in fine particulate matter of 10 units or more, so this happens quite often.
analyzed change data heart increase increases observed occurred per pollution rise short time
When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28% increase in admissions for each 10 mg per cubic meter increase in fine-particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine-particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects? response.

When we analyzed the data for heart failure, we observed a 1.28 percent increase in admissions for each 10 microgram per cubic meter increase in fine particle pollution. Most of these admissions increases occurred the same day as the rise in fine particle concentration, which suggests a short lag time between the change in pollution and the subjects' response.
