Physical activity (PA) in urban environments may lead to increased inhalation of air
pollutants. As PA and air pollution (AP) have respectively beneficial and detrimental effects …

Aims Little is known about the trade-off between the health benefits of physical activity (PA)
and the potential harmful effects of increased exposure to air pollution during outdoor PA …

Background Exposure to air pollution is known to affect both short and long-term outcomes
of the cardiopulmonary system; however, findings on short-term outcomes have been …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of short-term exposure to air pollutants on inflammation-
sensitive biomarkers in apparently healthy individuals. METHODS: We enrolled all …

Introduction: When physical activity is promoted in urban outdoor settings (eg walking and
cycling), individuals are also exposed to air pollution. It has been reported that short-term …

Objectives Exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) has been associated with adverse
respiratory and systemic outcomes. Physical activity (PA) in polluted air may increase …

Background Physical activity (PA) has beneficial, whereas exposure to traffic related air
pollution (TRAP) has adverse, respiratory effects. Few studies, however, have examined if …

Background Short-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) has been associated
with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Physical activity (PA) in polluted air may increase …

Concentrations of outdoor air pollution are on the rise, particularly due to rapid urbanization
worldwide. Alternatively, poor ventilation, cigarette smoke, and other toxic chemicals …

Previous studies have investigated the associations between exposure to ambient air
pollution and biomarkers of physiological pathways, yet little has been done on the …
