Abstract:Daily concentrations of PM10, SO2 and NO2 from 2001 to 2010 in 16 Chinese cities were collected to obtain the exposure-response relationships with daily mortality using the standard time series regression and Hierarchical Bayesian models. The coefficients of PM10-mortality association and NO2-mortality association were directly used to construct the air quality health index (AQHI). Then, the AQHI was validated by examining its ability to predict daily mortality and comparing this ability with existing air pollution index (API) and air quality index (AQI). The results showed the formula of AQHI was AQHI=10/16.4×100×[exp(0.00019×PM10)-1+exp(0.00061×NO2)-1]. The magnitude of AQHI’s predictive ability was greater than API and AQI.
