Background: Two commonly used modelling approaches to assess air pollution (AP) concentration for investigating health effects in epidemiological studies are land use regression (LUR) and dispersion chemistry transport models (DCTM). Choice of model can influence the exposure estimation and consequently the health effect estimation as well. In the Ruhr Area in Germany, the location of multiple epidemiological studies, residential AP concentrations have been modelled with a LUR model as part of the European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE-LUR), and with an European Air Quality, Dispersion and C…
