Neighborhood level air pollution represents a long-standing issue for many communities
that, until recently, has been difficult to address due to the cost of equipment and lack of …

Some of the environmental toxicants from air pollution include particulate matter (PM10), fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5), and ultrafine particles (UFP). Both short‐and long‐term exposure …

Relatively few studies have characterized differences in intra-and inter-neighborhood traffic-
related air pollutant (TRAP) concentrations and distance-decay gradients in neighborhoods …

Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants has been associated with increased risk of adverse
cardiopulmonary outcomes and mortality; however, the biochemical pathways linking …

Background Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter has been linked to cardiovascular
disease and systemic inflammatory responses; however, evidence is limited regarding the …

Land use regression (LUR) models have been used to assess air pollutant exposure, but
limited evidence exists on whether location-specific LUR models are applicable to other …

Estimating ultrafine particle number concentrations (PNC) near highways for exposure
assessment in chronic health studies requires models capable of capturing PNC spatial and …

Ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations are elevated near busy roadways, however, their
effects on prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension are not well …

Background Previous work has found that first-generation immigrants to developed nations
tend to have better health than individuals born in the host country. We examined the …

Background Exposure to airborne ultrafine particle (UFP;< 100 nm in aerodynamic diameter)
is an emerging public health problem. Nevertheless, the benefit of using high efficiency …
