Estimating the number of cardio-pulmonary events potentially averted by fine particulate matter air quality index activity guidelines
Daily AQI activity guidelines, as currently structured and implemented, likely prevent few cardio-pulmonary events per year in the US. Additional research is warranted to determine how to improve the overall approach to more effectively protect public health.
