[Short-term effects of PM10 on cause-specific mortality and the role of long-term environmental pressures in the industrial areas of Brindisi and Civitavecchia].

Epidemiologia e prevenzione
OBJECTIVES: the health status of people living near industrial plants is often exposed to several environmental risk factors, including air pollution. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between daily PM10 levels and cause-specific mo...

Predicting the effect of confinement on the COVID-19 spread using machine learning enriched with satellite air pollution observations.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The real-time monitoring of reductions of economic activity by containment measures and its effect on the transmission of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is a critical unanswered question. We inferred 5,642 weekly activity anomalies from the meteorology-a...

From COVID-19 to future electrification: Assessing traffic impacts on air quality by a machine-learning model.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
The large fluctuations in traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic provide an unparalleled opportunity to assess vehicle emission control efficacy. Here we develop a random-forest regression model, based on the large volume of real-time observational dat...

Fuzzy logic and hospital admission due to respiratory diseases using estimated values by mathematical model.

Ciencia & saude coletiva
Hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases generate financial costs for the Health System in addition to social costs. Objective of this study was to develop and validate a fuzzy linguistic model for prediction of hospitalization due to respiratory...

Part 1. Statistical Learning Methods for the Effects of Multiple Air Pollution Constituents.

Research report (Health Effects Institute)
INTRODUCTION: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA*) currently regulates individual air pollutants on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis, adjusted for other pollutants and potential confounders. However, the National Academies of S...
