Description:Epidemiologic studies have used aerosol optical depth (AOD)-PM2.5 as a proxy for ambient PM2.5 in urban and rural areas, even though its validation with air monitors has only occurred in urban areas. The contribution of elevated AOD-PM2.5 on respiratory-cardiovascular true positive (TP) cases, exposed to high PM2.5, and true negative (TN) controls, not exposed to elevated PM2.5, was evaluated in 72 Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) grids with (urban) and without (rural) air monitors. The odds ratio (OR) algorithm and the newly developed beta (ẞ) algorithm were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of TP cases, and TN controls in grids with and without air monitors.
