arbcombo -- Release of Fine Particle Pollution Health Report

Posted: 31 Aug 2010 14:57:40
The report “Estimate of Premature Deaths Associated with Fine
Particle Pollution in California Using the United States
Environmental Protection Agency Methodology” was released on
August 31, 2010.
 

This report estimates the premature deaths associated with
long-term public exposure to fine particulate matter air
pollution (PM2.5) in California. It uses the methodology
described in the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s
(U.S. EPA) recently released “Quantitative Health Risk Assessment
for Particulate Matter”, supported by the finding in U.S. EPA’s
2009 Integrated Science Assessment that the scientific evidence
shows a causal connection between premature death and exposure to
PM2.5. These two U.S. EPA reports were prepared as part of U.S.
EPA’s periodic review of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter and peer reviewed
through a public process by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory
Committee Particulate Matter Review Panel, an independent peer
review body of national scientists. The U.S. EPA health risk
assessment estimated premature deaths associated with PM2.5
nationwide, and in 15 urban areas including Los Angeles and
Fresno. This report applies the U.S. EPA methodology to
California statewide using air pollution data from 90 monitoring
sites.
The report and weblinks to the U.S. EPA documents can be found at
