The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Exploring the quality of evidence for complex and contested policy decisions (2008, background): “What is the fraction of particulate matter that causes health risks (Pope and Dockery 2006)?”
Machine learning in geosciences and remote sensing (2016, background): “Studies also suggest that even low level PM 2.5 exposure can contribute to serious health impacts (Pope and Dockery, 2006).”
A hybrid ARIMA and artificial neural networks model to forecast particulate matter in urban areas: The case of Temuco, Chile (2008, background): “Increased mortality and morbidity in communities with elevated PM concentrations have been reported by a variety of epidemiological studies (Sanhueza et al., 2005; Chow et al., 2006; Pope and Dockery, 2006).”
Satellite-Based Spatiotemporal Trends in PM2.5 Concentrations: China, 2004–2013 (2015, background): “5; particles with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) has been strongly associated with adverse health effects (e.g., cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality) by numerous epidemiologic studies conducted primarily in developed countries (Pope and Dockery 2006).”
Air pollution and defensive expenditures: Evidence from particulate-filtering facemasks (2017, background): “Both short-run time series analysis and chronic exposure cohort studies have found strong correlation between PM levels and elevated morbidity and mortality (Brunekreef and Holgate, 2002; Englert, 2004; Pope and Dockery, 2006).”
