Air Pollution and Neonatal Blood Pressure: Examining Earlier Exposures
Ambient air pollution has been associated in some studies (but not all) with increased blood pressure in adults and children. A study in this issue of EHP examines even ea rl ier exposures during gestation, an important period of ca rd iova scu la r growth and development. The results show a small but signif icant increase in newborn systolic blood pressure associated with exposure in the third...
متن کاملAcute Blood Pressure Responses in Healthy Adults During Controlled Air Pollution Exposures
Exposure to air pollution has been shown to cause arterial vasoconstriction and alter autonomic balance. Because these biologic responses may influence systemic hemodynamics, we investigated the effect of air pollution on blood pressure (BP). Responses during 2-hr exposures to concentrated ambient fine particles (particulate matter < 2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter; PM2.5) plus ozone (CAP+O3...
متن کاملAir pollution exposures and children's health.
The evidence from a large number of studies indicates that exposures to current outdoor air pollution increase respiratory morbidity in children. Children with asthma, and those with asthma-like symptoms but without a diagnosis of asthma, are considered to be at highest risk of experiencing short-term and/or longer-term adverse health effects. Many outdoor air pollutants readily penetrate indoo...
متن کاملPrenatal Air Pollution Exposure and Newborn Blood Pressure
BACKGROUND Air pollution exposure has been associated with increased blood pressure in adults. OBJECTIVE We examined associations of antenatal exposure to ambient air pollution with newborn systolic blood pressure (SBP). METHODS We studied 1,131 mother-infant pairs in a Boston, Massachusetts, area pre-birth cohort. We calculated average exposures by trimester and during the 2 to 90 days bef...

and tobacco smokers and 92 tobacco smokers with 81 non-smokers. They found a dose-response relationship between cannabis consumption and the degree of airways obstruction and hyperinflation. They estimated that one cannabis joint was equivalent to 2.5 cigarettes for the effect on forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity and to 6 cigarettes for the effect on specific airways conduct...
