Abstract

This chapter begins an investigation that occupies the rest of the book: examining how the causal analysis methods discussed in Part 2, along with the methodological points about interpretation of regression coefficients raised in earlier chapters, especially Chaps. 1 , 2 , 7 , and 8 , can be applied to the important public health topic of health risks caused by exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution. The specific concept of causation of greatest interest is manipulative or interventional causation (Chap. 9 ), addressing how changing air pollution would change death and disease rates. This contrasts with other concepts of causation that seek to attribute some number of “premature” deaths or diseases per year to air pollution without addressing the extent, if any, to which these attributed deaths would be prevented by reducing pollution levels (see Chaps. 9 and 18 ).
