Webinar “Bad Air : An Introduction to Air Pollution Epidemiology”

• Exposogas Project
• March 13, 2020

Abstract: Air pollution is responsible for millions of deaths every year. In this talk, I’ll give an overview of the different types and sources of outdoor air pollution. Epidemiology studies of large populations over the past few decades have helped us identify many important causes of illness from outdoor air pollutants. I’ll introduce the key study designs and discuss strengths and weaknesses of each. To help illustrate epidemiological methods, I’ll go through a working example of a time series study of exposure to biomass burning in Thailand.
