英文摘要	Since the London fog in 1952, numerous epidemiological studies have revealed that both short-term and long-term exposure to air pollutants is associated with the development of diseases[1]. Up to date, the assessment of air quality on health and air quality standard establishment in developing countries were mainly relied on extrapolation based on the results from long-term cohort studies conducted in Europe and North America. And this raises a number of uncertainties. For example, the air pollution levels, human health conditions, demographic and economic characteristics in Chinese residents are significantly different from those in Europe or North America. We believe that the shape of exposure-response relationships is crucial for public health assessment and there were growing demand for providing the relevant curves[3]. However, little information on air pollution exposure-health relationship at high level of air pollution was available. This study was aim to study the association between short-term exposure to air pollution and daily mortality in Urumqi, China, one of the most serious polluted cities in the world. As the capital city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Urumqi is located in the north of Taklimakan desert and in the south of Guerbantonggute Desert. The urban area of the city is surrounded by Tianshan Mountain on its eastern, southern, and western sides and the dust can be therefore carried to the urban area of the city by wind on its north side. This study focused on the central urban areas of Urumqi (Tianshan District and Shayibake District) with a registered population of almost 1.2 million from 2006 to 2007.
