Sulfur dioxide (SO2) was previously regarded as a toxic gas in atmospheric pollutants. But it
has been found to be endogenously generated from metabolism of sulfur‐containing amino …

While most in the scientific community are of the opinion that the composition of fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) is an important driver of resultant health effects, there is still some …

Background Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter less than 2· 5 μm in diameter (PM
2· 5) and traffic-related air pollutant concentrations are associated with cardiovascular risk …

Importance Exposure to ozone has been associated with cardiovascular mortality, but the
underlying biological mechanisms are not yet understood. Objective To examine the …

Background Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) has been linked to cardiovascular disease,
possibly via accelerated atherosclerosis. We examined associations between the …

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 …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of long-term residential
exposure to fine particles with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). Background …

Fine and ultra-fine particulate matter (PM) are major constituents of urban air pollution and
recognized risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. This review examined the effects of PM …

Abstract The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and Air Pollution (MESA Air) was initiated
in 2004 to investigate the relation between individual-level estimates of long-term air …

The world population is aging rapidly, and by some estimates, the number of people older
than 60 will double in the next 30 years. With the increase in life expectancy, adverse effects …
