Previous Study
800,000 annual mortalities due to urban PM
Cohen, et al. (2004) Urban Air Pollution, In Comparative quantification of health risks. Geneva, WHO.
Objectives
• Estimate global burden of human mortality due to anthropogenic ozone and PM
• Use model approach to improve on previous methods– Rural areas– Isolation of anthropogenic pollution
