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 ...
Residential Exposure to Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Survival after Heart Failure
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
Background: Although patients with heart failure (HF) have been identified as particularly susceptible to the acute effects of air pollution, the effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on patients with this ...
Health, Wealth, and Air Pollution: Advancing Theory and Methods
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2003)
The effects of both ambient air pollution and socioeconomic position (SEP) on health are well documented. A limited number of recent studies suggest that SEP may itself play a role in the epidemiology of disease and death ...
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 ...
