[HTML][HTML] Air pollution and mortality in the Medicare population

…, A Zanobetti, Y Wang, P Koutrakis… - … England Journal of …, 2017 - Mass Medical Soc
Background Studies have shown that long-term exposure to air pollution increases mortality.
However, evidence is limited for air-pollution levels below the most recent National Ambient …

Relative contribution of outdoor and indoor particle sources to indoor concentrations

…, HH Suh, P Catalano, P Koutrakis - Environmental science & …, 2000 - ACS Publications
The effect of indoor particle sources on indoor particle size distributions and concentrations
was previously investigated using real-time indoor and outdoor particle size distribution data …

Source apportionment of urban particulate aliphatic and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using multivariate methods

IG Kavouras, P Koutrakis, M Tsapakis… - … science & technology, 2001 - ACS Publications
Samples of organic aerosol were collected in Santiago de Chile. An activated-charcoal
