Objective:
The overall objectives of this proposed nationwide spatiotemporal analysis are to investigate the adverse health outcomes associated with population exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and speciation and to characterize geographic differences, sources, and population heterogeneity in the putatively PM2.5 mediated health effects, combining different sources of data with atmospheric models. We aim to answer the following research questions: What is the recommended framework to integrate atmospheric models with monitoring data and other sources of information to obtain a better spatial and temporal characterization of fine PM components and sources? Can we improve the PM component-based epidemiologic studies by using atmospheric and exposure models? How to integrate the atmospheric models in this epidemiologic framework, while characterizing uncertainties in the epidemiological and numerical models? How to use source apportionment approaches in national epidemiologic studies, while characterizing different sources of uncertainty in the models and the data?
