Randomized trial examines air pollution's effect on mortality, indicating a negligible lagged response.

The aim is to evaluate the relationship between daily mortality and urban air pollution using regression analysis with distributed lag models.
Examined several distributed lag models to assess delayed mortality response.
Adjusted for serial correlation and explored measurement error consequences.
Applied different models to various time periods for consistency assessment.
Consistent associations between daily mortality and air pollution values across all time periods.
Lagged effects of air pollution are found to be negligible compared to immediate responses.

Ronald E. Wyzga (1978) studied this question.
