Cardiovascular effects in patrol officers are associated with fine particulate matter from brake wear and engine emissions
(East Carolina University, 2004-12-09)
Background: Exposure to fine particulate matter air pollutants (PM2.5) affects heart rate variability parameters, and levels of serum proteins associated with inflammation, hemostasis and thrombosis. This study investigated ...
Coarse Particulate Matter (PM2.5 - 10) Affects Heart Rate Variability, Blood Lipids, and Circulating Eosinophils in Adults with Asthma
(East Carolina University, 2007-05)
INTRODUCTION: We investigated whether markers of airway and systemic inflammation, as well as heart rate variability (HRV) in asthmatics, change in response to fluctuations in ambient particulate matter (PM) in the coarse ...
Association of cardiac and vascular changes with ambient PMin diabetic individuals
(2010)
Background and Objective
Exposure to fine airborne particles (PM2.5) has been shown to be responsible for cardiovascular and hematological effects, especially in older people with cardiovascular disease. Some epidemiological ...
Ambient PM Exposure Up-regulates the Expression of Costimulatory Receptors on Circulating Monocytes in Diabetic Individuals
(2011-06)
BACKGROUND:
Exposure of humans to air pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter (PM) may result in airway and systemic inflammation and altered immune function. One putative mechanism may be through modification of ...
