Book Description
Air-quality modeling tools may be useful in such investigations of the health effects of air-pollution and PM2.5 specifically. Emissions-based three-dimensional air quality models may introduce several benefits when applied in epidemiologic studies, such as improved spatial representativeness and availability/continuity of data, as well as information on source impacts. Receptor-based models are a common tool for apportioning of ambient levels of pollutants among the major contributing sources, and can be useful in discerning the relative health impacts of different sources.
