The Environmental Defense Fund is collecting air pollution data for high resolution air quality mapping. The study region will include areas of East, West and downtown Oakland, as defined by the boundaries of the data collected by the Environmental Defense Fund. Air pollution data will be linked to geocoded addresses and electronic medical records in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California database. We will estimate the relationship between differences in traffic-related air pollution levels and health disparities across multiple disease areas.
