Journal ArticleDOI
Is Daily Mortality Associated Specifically with Fine Particles
TL;DR: The data suggest that increased daily mortality is specifically associated with particle mass constituents found in the aerodynamic diameter size range under 2.5 urn, that is, with combustion-related particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of fine particulate matter from different sources with daily mortality in six U.S. cities.
TL;DR: Results indicate that combustion particles in the fine fraction from mobile and coal combustion sources, but not fine crustal particles, are associated with increased mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Particulate Matter Exposure in Cars Is Associated with Cardiovascular Effects in Healthy Young Men
Michael Riediker,Wayne E. Cascio,Thomas R. Griggs,Margaret C. Herbst,Philip A. Bromberg,Lucas M. Neas,Ronald Williams,Robert B. Devlin +7 more
TL;DR: The observations in young, healthy, nonsmoking, male North Carolina Highway Patrol troopers suggest that in-vehicle exposure to PM(2.5) may cause pathophysiologic changes that involve inflammation, coagulation, and cardiac rhythm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of body mass index to asthma and atopy in children: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study III
TL;DR: The effects of increased BMI on asthma may be mediated by mechanical properties of the respiratory system associated with obesity or by upregulation of inflammatory mechanisms rather than by allergic eosinophilic inflammation of the airway epithelium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine particles are more strongly associated than coarse particles with acute respiratory health effects in schoolchildren.
Joel Schwartz,Lucas M. Neas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the relative contributions of fine and coarse particles on respiratory symptoms and peak expiratory flow in schoolchildren were examined. But, the authors concluded that fine particles, especially fine sulfate particles, have much stronger acute respiratory effects than coarse particles.
