Health benefits of reducing NOx emissions in the presence of epidemiological and atmospheric nonlinearities

Health benefits of reducing NOx emissions in the presence of epidemiological and atmospheric nonlinearities

Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that the logarithm of concentration is a better predictor of mortality risk from long-term exposure to ambient PM _2.5 and NO _2 than concentration itself. A log-concentration-response function (CRF) predicts a heightened excess risk per unit concentration at...
