Abstract
Most time-series studies of particulate air pollution and acute health outc omes assess exposure of the study population using fixed-site outdoor measu rements. To address the issue of exposure misclassification, we evaluate th e relationship between ambient particle concentrations and personal exposur es of-a population expected to be at risk of particle health effects.
