Rationale: Particulate air pollution is associated with cardiovascular morbidity. One
hypothesized mechanism involves oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and endothelial …

Exposure to fine particulate air pollution has been implicated as a risk factor for
cardiopulmonary disease and mortality. Proposed biological pathways imply that particle …

Rationale: Exposure to particulate matter is associated with risk of cardiovascular events,
possibly through endothelial dysfunction, and indoor air may be most important. Objectives …

Background Combustion-generated fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is associated with
cardiovascular morbidity. Both traffic-related air pollution and residential wood combustion …

Epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to air pollution is a leading risk factor for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is little direct evidence linking exposure to …

Background Particulate air pollution is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
events although the involved mechanisms are poorly understood. The objective of the …

Background Exposure to particulate air pollution increases respiratory and cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly, possibly through inflammation and vascular …

Background Exposure to fine particulate air pollution is associated with increased
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We previously demonstrated that exposure to dilute …

Objective: To investigate the associations between exposure to particulate air pollution and
changes in cardiovascular function and plasma mediators in seniors. Methods: We …

Particulate air pollution is known to increase cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Proposed mechanisms underlying this increase include effects on inflammation, coagulation …
