What is it about?
Presents an optimal functional measure of daily exposure to ozone by leveraging the repeatedly measured records within a day to describe the adverse health effects of the exposure.

Why is it important?
The construction of the full daily cycle of ozone profile allowed to estimate the periods of daily ozone exposure that are most harmful to human health. It was found that ozone exposure near the daily maximum, in the afternoon hours of the day, is particularly harmful to health.
Perspectives
In situations where choosing an optimal measure of pollutant exposure is relatively difficult, mainly because exposure measures vary with regard to the relative power of each to detect significant estimated health effects, accounting for the daily non-uniform pattern of pollutant concentration is a key aspect for the estimation of ozone exposure.
