Examined are economic factors in the Ru to Ur migration turnaround. This turnaround cannot meaningfully be considered apart from conditions in the nation's most highly urbanized areas. Causal forces suggested include: changing relative costs of doing business in older Ur centers; growth of resource-based industries in nonmetropolitan areas; rising income & wealth & increasing demands for location-specific amenities; changing demographic structure of the population & the LF; & government policy. Recent time-series data from the 171 Bureau of Economic Analysis economic areas, covering the years 1958-1975, describe migration & employment change for a 1% sample of employed persons covered by Social Security. Findings suggest that the shift is likely to continue & to become more pronounced during the 1980s. 6 Tables. Modified HA.

AbstractDeaths from air pollution in the UK are higher by a factor of 10 than from car crashes, 7 for drug-related deaths and 52 for murders, and yet awareness seems to be lacking in local government. We conducted an 18-year retrospective cohort study using routinely collected health care records from Ninewells Hospital, Dundee, and Perth Royal Infirmary, in Tayside, Scotland, UK, from 2000 to 2017. Hospitalisation events and deaths were linked to daily nitric oxides (NOX, NO, NO2), and particulate matter 10 (PM10) levels extracted from publicly available data over this same time period. Distributed lag models were used to estimate risk ratios for hospitalisation and mortality, adjusting for temperature, humidity, day of the week, month and public holiday. Nitric oxides and PM10 were associated with an increased risk of all hospital admissions and cardiovascular (CV) admissions on day of exposure to pollutant. This study shows a significant increase in all cause and CV hospital admissions, on high pollution days in Tayside, Scotland.
