Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term exposure to air pollution and vascular damage in young adults.
Virissa Lenters,Cuno S.P.M. Uiterwaal,Rob Beelen,Michiel L. Bots,Paul Fischer,Bert Brunekreef,Gerard Hoek +6 more
TL;DR: Air pollution may accelerate arterial-wall stiffening in young adults, and no associations were found between any of the pollutants or traffic indicators and carotid artery intima-media thickness, although PM2.5 effect estimates were in line with previous studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution and biomarkers of systemic inflammation and tissue repair in COPD patients
Payam Dadvand,Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen,Alvar Agusti,Jordi de Batlle,Marta Benet,Rob Beelen,Marta Cirach,David Martinez,Gerard Hoek,Xavier Basagaña,Antoni Ferrer,Jaume Ferrer,Robert Rodriguez-Roisin,Jaume Sauleda,Stefano Guerra,Josep M. Antó,Judith Garcia-Aymerich +16 more
TL;DR: Exposure to ambient NO2 increases systemic inflammation in COPD patients, especially in former smokers, and exposure levels of systemic inflammation biomarkers in IL-8, CRP, fibrinogen and HGF increases were larger informer smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI
In-Traffic Air Pollution Exposure and CC16, Blood Coagulation, and Inflammation Markers in Healthy Adults
Moniek Zuurbier,Gerard Hoek,Marieke Oldenwening,Kees Meliefste,Esmeralda Krop,Peter van den Hazel,Bert Brunekreef +6 more
TL;DR: Air pollution exposure during commuting was not consistently associated with acute changes in inflammation markers, blood cell counts, or blood coagulation markers, and the various biomarkers that were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total and size-resolved particle number and black carbon concentrations in urban areas near Schiphol airport (the Netherlands)
TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of black carbon, and size-resolved and total particle number concentrations (PNC) were investigated in the vicinity of Schiphol airport in the Netherlands, the fourth busiest airport in Europe.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the association of PM composition with cardiovascular mortality and found no statistically significant associations between any of the elemental constituents in PM2.5 or PM10 and CVD mortality in the pooled analysis.
