Ambient air pollution, lung function, and airway responsiveness in asthmatic children
(Elsevier BV, 2016)
Background:
Although ambient air pollution has been linked to reduced lung function in healthy children, longitudinal analyses of pollution effects in asthma are lacking.
Objective:
To investigate pollution effects in ...
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, ...
Estimating Causal Effects of Local Air Pollution on Daily Deaths: Effect of Low Levels
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2016)
Background: Although many time-series studies have established associations of daily pollution variations with daily deaths, there are fewer at low concentrations, or focused on locally generated pollution, which is becoming ...
Chronic effects of temperature on mortality in the Southeastern USA using satellite-based exposure metrics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
Climate change may affect human health, particularly for elderly individuals who are vulnerable to temperature changes. While many studies have investigated the acute effects of heat, only a few have dealt with the chronic ...
Long-Term Exposure to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter and Renal Function in Older Men: The Veterans Administration Normative Aging Study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2016)
Background: It is unknown if ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with lower renal function, a cardiovascular risk factor. Objective: We investigated whether long-term PM2.5 exposure was associated with ...
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 ...
