Air Pollution and ST-Segment Depression in Elderly Subjects
(National Institue of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Increased levels of daily ambient particle pollution have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity. Black carbon (BC) is a measure of the traffic-related component of particles. We investigated ...
The Relationship Between Ambient Air Pollution and Heart Rate Variability Differs for Individuals with Heart and Pulmonary Disease
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Associations between concentrations of ambient fine particles [particulate matter < 2.5 μm aerodynamic diameter (PM\(_{2.5}\))] and heart rate variability (HRV) have differed by study population. We examined the effects ...
Pesticides and Health Effects: Karpati et al. Respond
(National Institue of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Reference Values for Methacholine Reactivity (SAPALDIA Study)
(BioMed Central, 2005)
Background: The distribution of airway responsiveness in a general population of non-smokers without respiratory symptoms has not been established, limiting its use in clinical and epidemiological practice. We derived ...
Factors Affecting the Association between Ambient Concentrations and Personal Exposures to Particles and Gases
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Results from air pollution exposure assessment studies suggest that ambient fine particles [particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μg (PM2.5)], but not ambient gases, are strong proxies of corresponding personal ...
The Effect of Particulate Air Pollution on Emergency Admissions for Myocardial Infarction: A Multicity Case-Crossover Analysis
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
Recently, attention has focused on whether particulate air pollution is a specific trigger of myocardial infarction (MI). The results of several studies of single locations assessing the effects of ambient particular matter ...
