Abstract
Only a few researchers have addressed the issue of lifetime exposure related to air pollutant concentration. This study aims to develop a methodology to obtain the most reliable estimates of historical concentrations of air pollutants, which would be further applied to the long-term exposure evaluation. In particular, PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, benzene, and B(a)P concentrations have been obtained. Data of monitored concentrations, model calculations, and subsequent implementation of several corrections based on previous work on temporal and spatial correlations of these substances in the air have been deployed. This work makes an original contribution to the field of meteorology and epidemiology because of this innovative technique to estimate the most reliable historical concentrations of air pollutants. The novelty of our work lies in the additional implications of this study because historical concentration data serve as input data for the construction of epidemiological associations. The approach is based primarily on the availability of monitoring results of air pollutants.
