Cardiovascular remodeling in response to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution.
BACKGROUND Air pollution is a pervasive environmental health hazard that occurs over a lifetime of exposure in individuals from many industrialized societies. However, studies have focused primarily on exposure durations that correspond to only a portion of the lifespan. We therefore tested the hypothesis that exposure over a considerable portion of the lifespan would induce maladaptive cardiov...
متن کاملThe Association between Short-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Outpatient Visit in Beijing, China
Background We tried to investigate the effect of PM2.5 on daily counts of outpatient visits in the Guang'anmen Hospital to determine if short-term PM2.5 exposure with extremely high concentration affects cardiopulmonary function of Beijing residents. Methods Outpatient visits and PM2.5 data from 01/11/2011 to 03/31/2013 were extracted from the Guang'anmen Hospital and the American Embassy in ...
متن کاملLong-Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter, Blood Pressure, and Incident Hypertension in Taiwanese Adults.
BACKGROUND Long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution may increase blood pressure and the risk of hypertension. However, epidemiological evidence is scarce and inconsistent. OBJECTIVES We investigated the associations between long-term exposure to PM with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm (PM2.5), blood pressure, and incident hypertension in a large Taiwanese cohort. METHODS W...
متن کاملImpact of short-term exposure to fine particulate matter on emergency ambulance dispatches in Japan.
BACKGROUND Evidence of an association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and morbidity is limited in Asia. We used a case-crossover design to evaluate the association between short-term exposure to PM2.5 and emergency ambulance dispatches (as a proxy of acute health outcomes), and to calculate the extent to which a 10 μg/m(3) decrease in PM2.5 concentrations would reduce the number of ambu...
متن کاملAssociation of Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Risk Factors of Non-Communicable Diseases in Children and Adolescents
Background: Risk factors of non-communicable disease (NCD) origin from early life, and exposure to environmental pollutant may be a predisposing factor. This study aimed to investigate the association of air quality index (AQI) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) with some NCD risk factors in a sample of Iranian children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was con...
