Abstract

We present a method we developed to overcome some of the problems that are encountered in the attempts to identify acute health effects of environmental stimuli such as air pollution. To illustrate this method we have used daily records of asthmatic attacks in New York City. We also review some of the shortcomings of the presently used regression techniques, where a health variable is regressed on one or more environmental variables.
