Summary
A study published in May, 1976, by Schimmel and Murawski concluded that although there is some excess in daily mortality attributable to SO/sub 2/ on the basis of regression, SO/sub 2/ itself is actually harmless, but is associated with other as yet unidentified pollutants that are the real cause of excess mortality. The conclusions are criticized in regard to the following: the use of a single air pollution station to represent the entire metropolitan area; methodological weaknesses in the linear multiple regression analysis; handling of meteorological variables; the use of daily mortality statistics to assess adverse health effects of daily levels of air pollution; and instability of populations on which the regression is based.
