9 WHO WG «Quantification of the health effects of exposure to air pollution» RECOMMENDATION 2 Time-series studies are likely to provide: lower bound of effect in studies on mortality; estimates with lower measurement error and potential confounding relative to the cohort studies Additional merits of TS studies WHO WG «Quantification of the health effects of exposure to air pollution» RECOMMENDATION 5 Health impact assessments should exercise great care when the evidentiary and target populations differ In general, the most precise, valid and specific effect estimate should be used for impact assessment Use sensitivity analysis to assess the possible impact of the difference in the populations 9
