Ambient and Microenvironmental Particles and Exhaled Nitric Oxide Before and After a Group Bus Trip
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)
Objectives: Airborne particles have been linked to pulmonary oxidative stress and inflammation. Because these effects may be particularly great for traffic-related particles, we examined associations between particle ...
Residential Black Carbon Exposure and Circulating Markers of Systemic Inflammation in Elderly Males: The Normative Aging Study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2012)
Background: Traffic-related particles (TRPs) are associated with adverse cardiovascular events. The exact mechanisms are unclear, but systemic inflammatory responses likely play a role. Objectives: We conducted a repeated ...
The impact of weather changes on air quality and health in the United States in 1994–2012
(2016)
Air quality is heavily influenced by weather conditions. In this study, we assessed the impact of long-term weather changes on air quality and health in the US during 1994–2012. We quantified past weather-related increases, ...
Short‐Term Exposure to Air Pollution and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress: The Framingham Heart Study
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)
Background: Short‐term exposure to elevated air pollution has been associated with higher risk of acute cardiovascular diseases, with systemic oxidative stress induced by air pollution hypothesized as an important underlying ...
