Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Mortality in Diesel-Exposed Railroad Workers
Hart, Jaime Elizabeth; Laden, Francine; Schenker, Marc B.; Garshick, Eric (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2006)Diesel exhaust is a mixture of combustion gases and ultrafine particles coated with organic compounds. There is concern whether exposure can result in or worsen obstructive airway diseases, but there is only limited ... -

Laden, Francine; Chiu, Yueh-Hsiu; Garshick, Eric; Hammond, S Katharine; Hart, Jaime Elizabeth (BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Previous studies have suggested associations of adult exposures to secondhand smoke (SHS) with respiratory symptoms, but no study has focused on blue-collar industrial environments. We assessed the association ... -
Effect Modification of Long‐Term Air Pollution Exposures and the Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in US Women
Hart, Jaime E.; Puett, Robin C.; Rexrode, Kathryn M.; Albert, Christine M.; Laden, Francine (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015)Background: Ambient air pollution exposures have been frequently linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. However, less is known about the populations most susceptible to these adverse effects. Methods ... -
Exposure to Greenness and Mortality in a Nationwide Prospective Cohort Study of Women
James, Peter; Hart, Jaime E.; Banay, Rachel F.; Laden, Francine (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2016)Background: Green, natural environments may ameliorate adverse environmental exposures (e.g., air pollution, noise, and extreme heat), increase physical activity and social engagement, and lower stress. Objectives: We aimed ... -
