Objective
Epidemiological research carried out over the past 20 years provides a foundation for policy decisions to protect public health from long term exposure to airborne particulate matter. Recent research efforts to address uncertainties in results from large scale cohort mortality studies, to identify risk factors for morbidity and mortality, and to characterize the impact of particulate air pollution on life expectancy have important risk management implications. The objective of the Colloquium, the first in a linked series, is to interpret the current state of science for evidence-based decision-making on air quality objectives.
