NCHS Data Linked to Air Quality Data
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) collects data that describe the general and specific health of the United States. NCHS has linked air monitoring data, available from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) internet site to NCHS data files. These SAS data files are available in the Research Data Center (RDC) but, because they contain geography-specific information, are not available for public-use.
Pollution averages at air monitoring locations were obtained from the EPA. Pollution exposures were calculated for several pollutants: carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), and particles (PM2.5 and PM10). Geographic and temporal linkage criteria differ among the surveys.
