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 …

BACKGROUND The risk for cardiovascular events increases within hours of near-roadway
exposures. We aimed to determine the traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) and biological …

Background: Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution may increase blood
pressure and the risk of hypertension. However, epidemiological evidence is scarce and …

Background Traffic-related air pollution may contribute to cardiovascular morbidity. In urban
areas, exposures during physical activity are of interest owing to increased breathing rates …

Increased levels of daily ambient particle pollution have been associated with increased risk
of cardiovascular morbidity. Black carbon (BC) is a measure of the traffic-related component …

Background Previous human exposure studies of traffic-related air pollutants have
demonstrated adverse health effects in human populations by comparing areas of high and …

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

Background: Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) has been associated with future cardiac
morbidity and mortality and is often used as a marker of altered cardiac autonomic balance …

There are evidences for exposure to vehicular emissions and adverse cardiopulmonary
health effects. This study attempted to further explore these effects on elderly. This study …

Objective—The objective of this study is to examine associations between short-term
exposure to ambient air pollution and circulating biomarkers of systemic inflammation in …
