Diabetes, Obesity, and Hypertension May Enhance Associations between Air Pollution and Markers of Systemic Inflammation
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2006)
Airborne particulate matter (PM) may lead to increased cardiac risk through
an inflammatory pathway. Therefore, we investigated associations
between ambient PM and markers of systemic inflammation among repeated
measures ...
Mortality Risk Associated with Short-Term Exposure to Traffic Particles and Sulfates
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2007)
Background: Many studies have shown that airborne particles are associated with increased risk of death, but attention has more recently focused on the differential toxicity of particles from different sources. Geographic ...
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 ...
