Question

What is the the quantitative dose-response relationships between outdoor air PM2.5 concentration and mortality due to cardio-pulmonary, lung cancer, and other non-accidental causes (index Cause of death 2)?

Answer

Formula

The model randomly samples between the effect estimates provided by the two studies. See the model for more detailed description.

Unit

m3/μg D↷

Result

These coefficients are defined as distributions around estimates of central tendency for each cause of death.

Relative increase of mortality per 1 μgm-3 increase of outdoor PM2.5 concentration. Values were drawn with equal probability from the two distributions reported in [3], [4]

Crude mortality rate statistics from gas bus model (the dose response sub model). See the model here.


Cause of death Min Median Mean Max Std.Dev.
Cardiopulmonary -0.0036 0.0115 0.0128 0.0375 -0.0060
Lung cancer -0.0350 0.0140 0.0150 0.0728 0.0109
Other causes -0.0232 0.0008 0.0008 0.0252 0.0050
All causes -0.0019 0.0080 0.0091 0.0289 0.0047


Uncertainties:

  • Mortality estimate from Hoek et al. (2002)[5] was not included due to many confounding factors related to mortality, e.g. road noise.
  • Probability for PM2.5 assumed to be the true cause of the effects in 70 %, 90 %, and 10 % for cardiopulmonary, lung cancer and all other mortality, respectively (author judgement).
  • Toxicity differences between ambient air particles and the particles generated by different bus types were not taken into account due to lack of comprehensive data. [6] [7]
  • No threshold was assumed in the dose-response relationship. [8] [9]
