Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate Matter Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease An Update to the Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Robert D. Brook,Sanjay Rajagopalan,C. Arden Pope,Jeffrey R. Brook,Aruni Bhatnagar,Ana V. Diez-Roux,Fernando Holguin,Yuling Hong,Russell V. Luepker,Murray A. Mittleman,Annette Peters,David S. Siscovick,Sidney C. Smith,Laurie P. Whitsel,Joel D. Kaufman +14 more
TL;DR: It is the opinion of the writing group that the overall evidence is consistent with a causal relationship between PM2.5 exposure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhalation of Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Ozone Causes Acute Arterial Vasoconstriction in Healthy Adults
Robert D. Brook,Jeffrey R. Brook,Bruce Urch,Renaud Vincent,Sanjay Rajagopalan,Frances Silverman +5 more
TL;DR: Exposure to CAP plus ozone caused a significant brachial artery vasoconstriction compared with filtered air inhalation, but there were no significant differences in FMD, NMD or endothelial-independent nitroglycerin-mediated dilatation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A revised parameterization for gaseous dry deposition in air-quality models
TL;DR: In this article, a parameterization scheme for calculating gaseous dry deposition velocities in air quality models is revised based on recent study results on non-stomatal uptake of O 3 and SO 2 over 5 different vegetation types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of nonaccidental and cardiovascular mortality in relation to long-term exposure to low concentrations of fine particulate matter: a Canadian national-level cohort study.
Dan L. Crouse,Paul A. Peters,Aaron van Donkelaar,Mark S. Goldberg,Paul J. Villeneuve,Paul J. Villeneuve,Orly Brion,Saeeda Khan,Dominic Odwa Atari,Michael Jerrett,C. Arden Pope,Michael Brauer,Jeffrey R. Brook,Jeffrey R. Brook,Randall V. Martin,Randall V. Martin,David M. Stieb,Richard T. Burnett +17 more
TL;DR: In this large national cohort of nonimmigrant Canadians, mortality was associated with long-term exposure to PM2.5 and cardiovascular mortality in nonimmigrant Canadian adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insights Into the Mechanisms and Mediators of the Effects of Air Pollution Exposure on Blood Pressure and Vascular Function in Healthy Humans
Robert D. Brook,Bruce Urch,J. Timothy Dvonch,Robert L. Bard,Mary Speck,Gerald J. Keeler,Masako Morishita,Frank J. Marsik,Ali S. Kamal,Niko Kaciroti,Jack R. Harkema,Paul Corey,Frances Silverman,Diane R. Gold,Greg Wellenius,Murray A. Mittleman,Sanjay Rajagopalan,Sanjay Rajagopalan,Jeffrey R. Brook +18 more
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate credible mechanisms whereby fine particulate matter could trigger acute cardiovascular events and that aspects of exposure location may be an important determinant of the health consequences.
