    • Association of Expired Nitric Oxide with Occupational Particulate Exposure 

      Kim, Jee Young; Wand, Matthew P; Hauser, Russ B.; Mukherjee, Sutapa; Herrick, Robert F.; Christiani, David C. (2003)
      Particulate air pollution has been associated with adverse respiratory health effects. This study assessed the utility of expired nitric oxide to detect acute airway responses to metal-containing fine particulates. Using ...

    • Night heart rate variability and particulate exposures among boilermaker construction workers 

      Cavallari, Jennifer Margaret; Eisen, Ellen A.; Chen, Jiu-Chiuan; Fang, Shona C.; Dobson, Christine; Schwartz, Joel David; Christiani, David C. (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)
      Background: Although studies have documented the association between heart rate variability (HRV) and ambient particulate exposures, the association between HRV, especially at night, and metal-rich, occupational particulate ...

    • Urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine as a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage in workers exposed to fine particulates. 

      Kim, Jee Young; Mukherjee, Sutapa; Ngo, Long H.; Christiani, David C. (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2004)
      Residual oil fly ash (ROFA) is a chemically complex mixture of compounds, including metals that are potentially carcinogenic because of their ability to cause oxidative injury. In this study, we investigated the association ...
