The impact of changing exposure to PM2.5 on mortality for US diplomats with multiple international relocations: a modelling study
We developed a model to quantify health impacts of changing PM<sub>2.5</sub> exposure for a population with frequent relocations. Our model suggests that alternating assignments in high and low PM<sub>2.5</sub> cities may help reduce PM<sub>2.5</sub>-related mortality burdens. Adding exposure mitigation at home may help reduce PM<sub>2.5</sub> related mortality. Further research on outcome-specific lag structures is needed to improve the model.
