Impact/Purpose:
The overall goal of this task is to apply exposure and source apportionment tools (measurements and models) to support ongoing and planned health studies.
Description:
The Detroit Children's Health Study is an epidemiologic study examining associations between chronic ambient environmental exposures to gaseous air pollutants and respiratory health outcomes among elementary school-age children in an urban airshed. The exposure component of this study was to use ambient and GIS data from selected school sites to assess spatial variability and develop a land-use regression (LUR) model that could estimate intra-urban gradients of ambient air pollution levels for use in the health assessment.
