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

Objectives Particulate air pollution is associated with cardiovascular events, but the
mechanisms are not fully understood. The main objective was to assess the relationship …

Objective: We investigated whether personal exposure to particulate matter≤ 10 μm in
diameter (PM 10) contributes to impaired cardiovascular function and increased systemic …

Objectives To investigate changes in blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar and
haematological markers of inflammation associated with changes in long-term exposure to …

Purpose The study was conducted to explore the mechanisms linking traffic-related air
pollution and cardio-metabolic risk. Methods The participants included 371 men and women …

Fine particulate matter air pollution plus ozone impairs vascular function and raises diastolic
blood pressure. We aimed to determine the mechanism and air pollutant responsible. The …

Rationale: The biological mechanisms linking air pollution to cardiovascular events still
remain largerly unclear. Objectives: To investigate whether biological mechanisms linking …

Background The mechanism behind the triggering effect of fine particulate matter (PM) air
pollution on cardiovascular events remains elusive. We postulated that elevated levels of …

Objective Particulate air pollution is associated with cardiovascular morbidity but
mechanisms are not well understood. We tested the effects on vascular reactivity of …

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 …
