The analysis was accomplished using a robust air pollution model from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)called the Portland Air Toxics Assessment Program (PATA). similar studies have Compared health data to modeled air pollution from single sources. This study utilizes model data derived from multiple sources for the Portland metropolitan area. 000002846 540__ $$fCC BY 000002846 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002846 650__ $$aAir Pollution$$014378 000002846 650__ $$aAsthma$$015168 000002846 650__ $$aEmergency Service, Hospital$$018352 000002846 651__ $$aOregon--Portland Metropolitan Area$$044281 000002846 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002846 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000002846 7001_ $$aPearson, Carlo$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002846 7201_ $$aYackel, Thomas$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002846 8564_ $$9391142f4-e544-40f0-bdc7-859aec03c1da$$s3599104$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2846/files/3614_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$21d00e2b9dd51e358f5cc077c66ff0dc0$$31 000002846 905__ $$a/rest/prod/dj/52/w5/04/dj52w504x 000002846 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2846$$pstudent-work 000002846 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
