Background Ambient air pollution is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes,
but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood; epigenetic effects including altered …

Exposure to long-term ambient air pollution is believed to have adverse effects on human
health. However, the mechanisms underlying these impacts are poorly understood. DNA …

Background: Few epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) on air pollutants exist, and
none have been done on transportation noise exposures, which also contribute to …

Background: Epidemiological studies have reported associations between particulate matter
(PM) concentrations and cancer and respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. DNA …

Introduction Limited evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms may partially mediate
the adverse effects of air pollution on health. Our aims were to identify new genomic loci …

Background One of the potential mechanisms linking air pollution to health effects is through
changes in DNA-methylation, which so far has mainly been analyzed globally or at …

Long-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with several adverse health effects
including cardiovascular, respiratory diseases and cancers. However, underlying molecular …

Background: Long-term air pollution exposure is negatively associated with lung function,
yet the mechanisms underlying this association are not fully clear. Differential DNA …

Background DNA methylation (DNAm) may contribute to processes that underlie
associations between air pollution and poor health. Therefore, our objective was to evaluate …

Epigenetic mechanisms may underlie air pollution-health outcome associations. We
estimated gaseous air pollutant-DNA methylation (DNAm) associations using twelve …
