Excerpt
Introduction: The relationship of air quality to disease has been extensively studied and still remains a fundamental health issue. One popular approach to studying this relationship combines measures of pollution and rates of mortality by means of a linear regression analysis applied to a series of defined geographic areas. Over a dozen research efforts fall into this class (12)[s ee Ricci (3) for a complete review]. The present work attempts to use regression techniques to reproduce the results of others, particularly the work of Lave and Seskin (1) and Mendelsohn and Orcutt (2) employing more extensive data than was previously available.
