Objective There is growing interest in disentangling the health effects of spatially clustered
social and physical environmental exposures and in exploring potential synergies among …

Background Recent toxicological and epidemiological evidence suggests that chronic
psychosocial stress may modify pollution effects on health. Thus, there is increasing interest …

This article addresses the question of how to incorporate spatial processes into the
assessment of chronic health effects from air pollution exposure. An analytic framework is …

Abstract Background and Methods Evidence shows that both the physical and social
environments play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this …

The effects of both ambient air pollution and socioeconomic position (SEP) on health are
well documented. A limited number of recent studies suggest that SEP may itself play a role …

Persons with lower socioeconomic status (SES) may face higher risk from polluted air. This
disproportionate burden may result from elevated exposure, due to proximity to roadways or …

This study is the first of its kind to utilize longitudinal, nationally representative panel data
from the United States to assess the relationship between exposure to air pollution and …

Background: Despite a vast air pollution epidemiology literature to date and the recognition
that lower-socioeconomic status (SES) populations are often disproportionately exposed to …

Although it is often acknowledged that social and environmental factors interact to produce
racial and ethnic environmental health disparities, it is still unclear how this occurs. Despite …

Background Disproportionate life stress and consequent physiologic alteration (ie, immune
dysregulation) has been proposed as a major pathway linking socioeconomic position …
