Carbon Monoxide: Association of Community Air Pollution with Mortality

Alfred C. Hexter 1 and John R. Goldsmith 1

1 California State Department of Public Health, Berkeley 94704

Regression analysis of daily mortality in Los Angeles County shows that there is a significant association between community carbon monoxide concentrations and mortality. Cyclic variation and maximum temperature were the main contributors. No association was demonstrated between oxidant and mortality.
