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

Background—Multiple studies have demonstrated a consistent association between
ambient particulate air pollution and increased risk of hospital admissions and deaths for …

Objectives Short-term elevation of ambient particulate air pollution has been associated with
autonomic dysfunction and increased systemic inflammation, but the interconnections …

An association between high levels of air pollutants and human disease has been known for
more than half a century. Air pollution is composed of a heterogeneous mixture of …

Background: Associations between blood pressure (BP) and ambient air pollution have
been inconsistent. No studies have used ambulatory BP monitoring and outdoor home air …

Background: Air pollution exposure increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and is
a major global public health concern. Objectives: We investigated the benefits of reducing …

Background—Epidemiological studies suggest that people with diabetes are vulnerable to
cardiovascular health effects associated with exposure to particle air pollution. Endothelial …

Background Blood pressure (BP) may be implicated in associations observed between
ambient particulate matter and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study examined …

Objective: Fine particulate matter air pollution (PM 2.5) and extreme temperatures have both
been associated with alterations in blood pressure (BP). However, few studies have …

Air pollution is a global health concern. Particulate matter (PM) 2.5, a component of ambient
air pollution, has been identified by the World Health Organization as one of the pollutants …
