Air pollution and mortality in three large Latin American cities
This project explores the relationship between mortality and day-to-day fluctuations in air pollution (PM and O3) in three Latin American cities: São Paulo, Brazil; Santiago, Chile; and Mexico City. We are using a variety of epidemiological study designs and also investigating how socioeconomic status affects the association between pollutants and health.
