我们研究了20世纪90年代加州空气污染对婴儿死亡的影响。我们的工作提供了几个创新：首先，大多数以前的研究都考察了受到更高污染水平影响的人群。其次，许多研究都是孤立地研究单一污染物。我们在一个共同的框架内研究三种“标准”污染物。第三，我们使用丰富的个人层面的数据和每周水平的污染测量。我们最新的发现是一氧化碳对婴儿死亡率的显著影响：我们发现，20世纪90年代一氧化碳的减少挽救了加州大约1000名婴儿的生命。
We examine the impact of air pollution on infant death in California over the 1990s. Our work offers several innovations: first, most previous studies examine populations subject to far greater levels of pollution. Second, many studies examine a single pollutant in isolation. We examine three "criteria" pollutants in a common framework. Third, we use rich individual-level data and pollution measured at the weekly level. Our most novel finding is a significant effect of CO on infant mortality: we find that reductions in carbon monoxide over the 1990s saved approximately 1000 infant lives in California.
