Background Exposure to fine airborne particulate matter [≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter
(PM2. 5)] has been associated with cardiovascular and hematologic effects, especially in …

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

Objectives: This study evaluated the association of long-and short-term air pollutant
exposures with flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and baseline arterial diameter (BAD) of the …

Epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to air pollution is a leading risk factor for
cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is little direct evidence linking exposure to …

Abstract Background and Objective Exposure to fine airborne particles (PM 2.5) has been
shown to be responsible for cardiovascular and hematological effects, especially in older …

Objective: We investigated whether personal exposure to particulate matter≤ 10 μm in
diameter (PM 10) contributes to impaired cardiovascular function and increased systemic …

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

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

The association between ambient particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular diseases has
been demonstrated in epidemiological studies. Recent studies suggest that diabetic patients …

Background Particulate air pollution is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
events although the involved mechanisms are poorly understood. The objective of the …
