AHAlfred C. HexterJGJohn R. Goldsmith

Key Points

  • This research aims to investigate the association between community carbon monoxide concentrations and daily mortality rates in Los Angeles County.
  • Regression analysis of daily mortality data in Los Angeles County.
  • Evaluation of cyclic variations and maximum temperature as contributing factors.
  • Examination of the relationship between oxidants and mortality, which showed no association.
  • Significant association found between carbon monoxide concentrations and mortality rates.
  • Cyclic variation and maximum temperature were identified as primary contributors to the association.
  • No significant link established between oxidant levels and mortality.

Abstract

Regression analysis of daily mortality in Los Angeles County shows that there is a significant association between community carbon monoxide concentrations and mortality. Cyclic variation and maximum temperature were the main contributors. No association was demonstrated between oxidant and mortality.
