Indicator of ambient air pollution exposure at the participants' home addresses was nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
Results suggest that, for PM2.5, the mean ambient SAM PM2.5 concentration is a good indicator of ambient PM2.5 across the metropolitan Atlanta area.
Nevertheless, if one accepts that the forehead skin is heated by the underlying brain, this would make this area of non‐hairy skin an even worse indicator of ambient temperature.
Like most other studies of air pollution and population health, our study (Liu et al. 2003) relied on ecologic rather than personal indicators of exposure, with average ambient air pollution concentrations determined using one or more fixed site monitors within census areas in Vancouver.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the association between breast cancer risk and an important source of ambient PAH exposure, the use of indoor stoves/fireplaces, an indicator of indoor air pollution [ 34].
Analysis of thermal indicators, such as deformed plastic, and correlation with information on burns injuries and fires provided estimates of ambient temperatures associated with the PDCs.
On 24 and 25 May 2005, we measured the levels of ambient air NO2 and PM10 (including lead in PM10) at each school as indicators of traffic-related air pollution.
The health hazard of ambient NO2 is debated, with most authorities tending to regard it as an indicator of more toxic components of the pollution mixture rather than as toxic per se (WHO 2006).
What are the downsides of ambient contact?
