The air quality health index and asthma morbidity: a population-based study. [PDF]
Environ Health Perspect, 2013 Exposure to air pollution has been linked to the exacerbation of respiratory diseases. The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI), developed in Canada, is a new health risk scale for reporting air quality and advising risk reduction actions.We used the AQHI to estimate the impact of air quality on asthma morbidity, adjusting for potential confounders.Daily ...

Evaluation of an Air Quality Health Index for Predicting the Mutagenicity of Simulated Atmospheres. [PDF]
Environ Sci Technol, 2018 No study has evaluated the mutagenicity of atmospheres with a calculated air quality health index (AQHI). Thus, we generated in a UV-light-containing reaction chamber two simulated atmospheres (SAs) with similar AQHIs but different proportions of criteria pollutants and evaluated them for mutagenicity in three Salmonella strains at the air-agar ...
