Such integration requires strong assumptions about equal toxicity per total inhaled dose. We relax these assumptions to build risk models examining exposure and risk information restricted to cohort studies of outdoor air pollution, now covering much of the global concentration range. Our estimates are severalfold larger than previous calculations, suggesting that outdoor particulate air pollution is an even more important population health risk factor than previously thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burnett RT, Chen H, Szyszkowicz M, \u2026 Peters PA, \u2026 et al.
