|Description=Method for assessing Environmental Burden of Disease. meta analysis of health studies. The exposure variable for air pollution used in this guide is particulate matter (PM) measured as either PM10 or PM2.5 (i.e. PM less than 10 μm or 2.5 μm in diameter, respectively). Population exposure is characterized by exposure concentrations and the numbers of people exposed at the various exposure levels. Concentrationresponse functions from the epidemiological literature are then applied to the exposed population. These functions relate ambient PM concentrations to cases of premature mortality, and enable the attributable risk to be calculated.
