Heart Rate Variability & Ultrafine Particle Exposures
Over the last ten years, many epidemiological studies have assessed changes in cardiac morbidity and mortality based on exposures to ambient to particles (Dockery et al., 1993, Schwartz, 1994; Samet et al., 2000; Peters et al., 1999). Exposure to particles of aerodynamic diameter <2.5 µm and <10 µm have earned considerable attention as elevated levels have been associated with lung function ...

Geocoding Health Data: The Use of Geographic Codes in Cancer Prevention and Control, Research and Practice
In the past, disease pattern mapping depended on census tracts based on political units, such as states and counties. However, with the advent of geographic information systems (GIS), researchers can now achieve a new level of precision and flexibility in geographic locating. This emerging technology allows the mapping of many different kinds of geographies, including disease rates in relation to ...
