Effect modification of ambient particle mortality by radon: A time series analysis in 108 U.S. cities
2019Co-Authors: Annelise J. Blomberg, Joel Schwartz, Antonella Zanobetti, Brent A. Coull, Iny Jhun, Carolina L.z. Vieira, Eric Garshick, Petros KoutrakisAbstract:Numerous studies have reported a positive association between ambient fine particles and daily mortality, but little is known about the particle properties or environmental factors that may contribute to these effects. This study assessed potential modification of radon on PM2.5 (particulate matter with an Aerodynamic Diameter

short term effects of fine particulate matter and ozone on the cardiac conduction system in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization
Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2018Co-Authors: Siqi Zhang, Susanne Breitner, Wayne E Cascio, Robert B Devlin, Lucas M Neas, David Diazsanchez, William E Kraus, Joel Schwartz, Elizabeth R Hauser, Annette PetersAbstract:Background Air pollution-induced changes in cardiac electrophysiological properties could be a pathway linking air pollution and cardiovascular events. The evidence of air pollution effects on the cardiac conduction system is incomplete yet. We investigated short-term effects of particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in Aerodynamic Diameter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3) on cardiac electrical impulse propagation and repolarization as recorded in surface electrocardiograms (ECG).

the effect of fine and coarse particulate air pollution on mortality a national analysis
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2009Co-Authors: Antonella Zanobetti, Joel SchwartzAbstract:BackgroundAlthough many studies have examined the effects of air pollution on mortality, data limitations have resulted in fewer studies of both particulate matter with an Aerodynamic Diameter of ≤...

examining the shape of the association between low levels of fine particulate matter and mortality across three cycles of the canadian census health and environment cohort
Environmental Health Perspectives, 2019Co-Authors: Amanda Pappin, Dan L Crouse, Jeffrey R Brook, Randall V Martin, Tanya Christidis, Lauren Pinault, Anders C Erickson, Perry HystadAbstract:Background: Ambient fine particulate air pollution with Aerodynamic Diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) is an important contributor to the global burden of disease. Information on the shape of the concentrati...

estimating fine particulates less than 2 5 microns in Aerodynamic Diameter pm2 5 from airport visibility data in california
Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, 1995Co-Authors: David E Abbey, B E Ostro, G Fraser, T Vancuren, Raoul J BurchetteAbstract:Methods were developed for estimating fine particulates less than 2.5 microns in Aerodynamic Diameter (PM2.5) from airport visibility data which detected seasonality and allowed for possible site- and season-specific regressions of PM2.5 on visibility. The methods were applied to nine airports in California in order to produce estimates of PM2.5 for the years 1966-1986 based on 1,767 paired PM2.5/visibility data points where PM2.5 had been measured at a monitoring station near the airport. General F-tests indicated that site- and season-specific regression equations resulted in a statistically significant reduction in residual error. The split halves correlation for estimating PM2.5 from visibility over all areas was 0.82. The methods were used to estimate long-term concentrations of ambient PM2.5 for an epidemiological cohort of 1,868 individuals.

chronic respiratory symptoms associated with estimated long term ambient concentrations of fine particulates less than 2 5 microns in Aerodynamic Diameter pm2 5 and other air pollutants
Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, 1995Co-Authors: David E Abbey, B E Ostro, Floyd Petersen, Raoul J BurchetteAbstract:Seventh-Day Adventists (SDAs), nonsmokers who had resided since 1966 in the vicinity of nine airports throughout California (n = 1,868), completed a standardized respiratory symptoms questionnaire in 1977 and again in 1987. For each participant, cumulative ambient concentrations of fine particulates less than 2.5 microns (microns) in Aerodynamic Diameter (PM2.5) were estimated from airport visibility data. Long-term ambient concentrations of estimated PM2.5 in excess of 20 micrograms per cubic meter (micrograms/m3) were found to be associated with development of definite symptoms of chronic bronchitis between 1977 and 1987. Estimated mean concentrations of PM2.5 were associated with increasing severity of respiratory symptoms related to general airway obstructive disease, chronic bronchitis, and asthma. It was felt that the observed relationships, with the exception of the relationship between increasing severity of chronic bronchitis symptoms and PM2.5, could be due to surrogate relationships with other ambient pollutants.
