Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with increased morbidity and
mortality among individuals with cardiovascular disease. It is hypothesized that systemic …

We investigated the association between fine particulate air pollution and oxygen saturation
as measured with a peripheral oxygen saturation monitor during a 12-week repeated …

Epidemiological studies of the past decades have provided a strong body of evidence that
elevated levels of ambient particulate air pollution (PM) are associated with increased …

In order to better understand how ambient air particulate matter (PM) affect lung health, the
two main airway cell types likely to interact with inhaled particles, alveolar macrophages …

Air pollution is increasingly recognized as an important and modifiable determinant of
cardiovascular disease in urban communities. Acute exposure has been linked to a range of …

Epidemiologic investigation has established an association between exposure to particulate
matter (PM) and human health in the Utah Valley. Reduction of particle mass during the …

Exposure to combustion‐related particulate matter (PM), at concentrations experienced by
populations throughout the world, contributes to pulmonary and cardiac disease through …

Epidemiologic evidence associates particulate air pollution with cardiopulmonary morbidity
and mortality. The biological mechanisms underlying these associations and the …

Rationale: Ambient air pollution has been shown to be associated with cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Objectives: A prospective panel study was conducted to study the …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the adverse effects of particulate air pollution on
health. The overall epidemiologic evidence is consistent with the premise that particulate air …
