Acute and Chronic Effects of Particles on Hospital Admissions in New England
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Background: Many studies have reported significant associations between exposure to \(PM_{2.5}\) and hospital admissions, but all have focused on the effects of short-term exposure. In addition all these studies have relied ...
Opposing Effects of Particle Pollution, Ozone, and Ambient Temperature on Arterial Blood Pressure
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2012)
Background: Diabetes increases the risk of hypertension and orthostatic hypotension and raises the risk of cardiovascular death during heat waves and high pollution episodes. Objective: We examined whether short-term ...
Association of Cumulative Lead Exposure with Parkinson’s Disease
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2010)
Background: Research using reconstructed exposure histories has suggested an association between heavy metal exposures, including lead, and Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the only study that used bone lead, a biomarker of ...
Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction: Particulate Air Pollution Effects Are Modulated by Epigenetic Immunoregulation of Toll‐like Receptor 2 and Dietary Flavonoid Intake
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2015)
Background: Short‐term fine particles (PM2.5) exposure is associated with reduced heart rate variability, a strong predictor of cardiac mortality among older people. Identifying modifiable factors that confer susceptibility ...
