Accounting for Mobility in Air Pollution Exposure Estimates in Studies on Long-Term Health Effects.
Our results suggest that the assessment of air pollution exposure at the residential address in epidemiological studies generally does not lead to substantial bias in health effects estimates. If time-activity patterns in other study areas differ greatly from the patterns analyzed in our study, differences between residential and activity-enhanced exposures may be larger. Despite the good agreement between residential and work locations, exposure research should continue to strive toward improving exposure assessment in large-scale epidemiological studies to minimize exposure misclassification.
