Background: Studies evaluating possible associations between long-term exposure to air
pollution and inflammatory and thrombotic markers are limited. Methods: From 2009 to 2011 …

Background Exposure to particulate matter air pollution (PM) has been associated with
cardiovascular diseases. Objectives In this study we evaluated whether annual exposure to …

Background: Previous studies have observed associations between air pollution and heart
disease. Susceptibility to air pollution effects has been examined mostly with a test of effect …

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 …

It is well known that exposure to particulate air pollutants is associated with the development
of adverse health effects. In particular, there is growing evidence of a close relationship …

Most studies linking cardiovascular disease with particulate matter (PM) exposures have
focused on total mass concentrations, regardless of their origin. However, the origin of an air …

In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and
Cardiovascular Disease” concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution …

Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that long-term exposure to relatively low levels of
particulate air pollution is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in Europe and …

Rationale: Exposure to particulate matter is associated with risk of cardiovascular events,
possibly through endothelial dysfunction, and indoor air may be most important. Objectives …

To explore associations of exposure to ambient and indoor air particulate and bio-aerosol
pollutants with cardiovascular and respiratory disease markers, we utilized seven repeated …
