From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 130, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedHome to nearly 1.4 billion people (World Bank 2022), India is one of the most populated countries in the world. India also has some of the highest levels of air pollution, with an estimated population-weighted mean fine...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 123, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Toxicological research suggests that coarse particles ([PM.sub.10-2.5]) are inflammatory, but responses are complex and may be best summarized by multiple inflammatory markers. Few human studies have...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 126, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Air pollution exposures are hypothesized to impact blood pressure, yet few longitudinal studies exist, their findings are inconsistent, and different adjustments have been made for potentially distinct...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 129, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Dementia is a devastating neurologic condition that is common in older adults. We previously reviewed the epidemiological evidence examining the hypothesis that long-term exposure to air pollution affects...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 126, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Subclinical cardiovascular changes have been associated with ambient particulate matter (PM) exposures within hours. Although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continues to look for additional...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 120, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Epidemiologic studies of fine particulate matter [aerodynamic diameter [less than or equal to] 2.5 [micro]m ([PM.sub.2.5])] typically use outdoor concentrations as exposure surrogates. Failure to account for...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 118, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Elevated left ventricular mass (LVM) is a strong predictor of negative cardiovascular outcomes, including heart failure, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. A relationship between close (< 50 m compared with >...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 121, Issue 11-12) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Although research has shown that low socioeconomic status (SES) and minority communities have higher exposure to air pollution, few studies have simultaneously investigated the associations of individual and...

Ambient coarse particulate matter and the right ventricle: the multi-ethnic study of Atherosclerosis
Background: Coarse particulate matter ([PM.sub.10-2.5]) is primarily mechanically generated and includes crustal material, brake and tire wear, and biological particles. [PM.sub.10-2.5] is associated with pulmonary... -

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 123, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Air pollution is linked to low lung function and to respiratory events, yet little is known of associations with lung structure. Objectives: We examined associations of particulate matter ([PM.sub.2.5],...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 129, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Air pollution may be associated with elevated dementia risk. Prior research has limitations that may affect reliability, and no studies have evaluated this question in a population-based cohort of men and...
