Health and Economic Cost Estimates of Short-Term Total and Wildfire PM2.5 Exposure on Work Loss: Using the Consecutive California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) Data 2015–2018 (BMJ Public Health)
Using 2015–2018 California Health Interview Survey data, authors evaluated the health and economic impacts of work loss due to sickness associated with daily all-source and wildfire-specific particulate matter exposures in California.

Journal Article
Reductions in NO₂ Emergency Room Visits Associated with California's Goods Movement Policies: A Quasi-Experimental Study (Environmental Research)
This study examines whether the “Emission Reduction Plan for Ports and Goods Movement” in California reduced air pollution exposures and emergency room visits among California Medicaid enrollees with asthma and/or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Authors created a retrospective cohort of 5,608 Medicaid enrollees from ten counties in California with data from 2004 to 2010.

Improvements in Air Quality and Health Outcomes Among California Medicaid Enrollees Due to Goods Movement Actions
Researchers examine the impact of the 2006 California Goods Movement Plan on air quality and health care utilization among adults with chronic health conditions who were enrolled in California’s healthcare program for low-income individuals (Medi-Cal). The study was funded as part of HEI’s Accountability Research program, which evaluates the effectiveness of air quality interventions.

Journal Article
Predicting Differential Improvements in Annual Pollutant Concentrations and Exposures for Regulatory Policy Assessment (Environment International)
Over the past decade, researchers and policymakers have become increasingly interested in regulatory and policy interventions to reduce air pollution concentrations and improve human health. Studies have typically relied on relatively sparse environmental monitoring data that lack the spatial resolution to assess small-area improvements in air quality and health.
