Background Exposure to air pollution from traffic is associated with adverse cardiovascular
events. The mechanisms for this association are unknown. We conducted a controlled …

Background—Although the mechanisms are unknown, it has been suggested that transient
exposure to traffic-derived air pollution may be a trigger for acute myocardial infarction. The …

Aims Although the mechanism is unclear, exposure to traffic-derived air pollution is a trigger
for acute myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of diesel …

Rationale: Exposure to combustion-derived air pollution is associated with an early (1–2 h)
and sustained (24 h) rise in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We have previously …

Exposure to traffic-related air pollution is associated with risk of cardiovascular disease and
mortality. We examined whether exposure to diesel exhaust increased blood pressure (BP) …

Background Traffic emissions including diesel engine exhaust are associated with
increased respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Controlled human …

Air pollution is positively associated with increased daily incidence of myocardial infarction
and cardiovascular mortality. We hypothesize that air pollutants, primarily vapor phase …

Background Exposure to fine particulate air pollution is associated with increased
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We previously demonstrated that exposure to dilute …

Background—In controlled human exposure studies, diesel engine exhaust inhalation
impairs vascular function and enhances thrombus formation. The aim of the present study …

Background Traffic-related air pollution is consistently associated with cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. Recent human and animal studies suggest that exposure to air …
