Air pollution inhaled dose is the product of pollutant concentration and minute ventilation (V  ˙   E). Previous studies have parameterized the relationship betweenV  ˙   Eand variables such as heart rate (HR) and have observed substantial inter-subject variability. In this paper, we evaluate a method to estimateV  ˙   Ewith easy-to-measure variables in an analysis of pooled-data from eight independent studies. We compiled a large diverse data set that is balanced with respect to age, sex and fitness level. We used linear mixed models to estimateV  ˙   Ewith HR, breath frequency (f B ), age, sex, height, and forced vital capacity (FVC) as predictors. FVC was estimated using the Global Lung Function Initiative method. We log-transformed the dependent and independent variables to produce a model in the form of a power function and assessed model performance using a ten-fold cross-validation procedure. The best performing model using HR as the only field-measured parameter wasV  ˙   E= e -9.59 HR 2.39 age 0.274 sex -0.204 FVC 0.520  with HR in beats per minute, age in years, sex is 1 for males and 2 for females, FVC in liters, and a median(IQR) cross-validated percent error of 0.664(45.4)%. The best performing model overall wasV  ˙   E= e -8.57 HR 1.72 f B  0.611 age 0.298 sex -0.206 FVC 0.614 , where f B  is breaths per minute, and a median(IQR) percent error of 1.20(37.9)%. The performance of these models is substantially better than any previously-published model when evaluated using this large pooled-data set. We did not observe an independent effect of height onV  ˙   E, nor an effect of race, though this may have been due to insufficient numbers of non-white participants. We did observe an effect of FVC such that these models over- or under-predictV  ˙   Ein persons whose measured FVC was substantially lower or higher than estimated FVC, respectively. Although additional measurements are necessary to confirm this finding regarding FVC, we recommend using measured FVC when possible.
