How much vs. what kind: Should we be paying attention to PM2.5 composition in epidemiology even when mass concentration is the exposure of interest?

Hosted by UBC School of Population and Public Health

This seminar will discuss the importance of considering particle composition/characteristics when trying to estimate the health impacts of PM_2.5 mass concentrations. Examples from recent studies of outdoor Ultrafine particles will also be discussed.
