Clearing the air to address pollution’s cardiovascular health crisis
Miller, Mark R.; Di Cesare, Mariachiara; Rahimzadeh, Shadi; Adeoye, Marvellous; Perel, Pablo; Taylor, Sean; Shrikhande, ShreyaAir pollution is a critical global health issue that significantly impacts cardiovascular health. The air pollutant PM2.5 (particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less) has been positioned as a leading environmental risk factor for morbidity and mortality, especially from cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Using data from the World Health Organization (WHO), Global Health Observatory, and the Unit...
Nanomaterials versus ambient ultrafine particles: an opportunity to exchange to...
Stone, Vicki; Miller, Mark R.; Clift, Martin J.D.; Elder, Alison; Mills, Nicholas L.; Møller, Peter; Schins, Roel P.F.; Vogel, UllaBACKGROUND: A rich body of literature exists that has demonstrated adverse human health effects following exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM), and there is strong support for an important role of ultrafine (nanosized) particles. At present, relatively few human health or epidemiology data exist for engineered nanomaterials (NMs) despite clear parallels in their physicochemical properties and biologi...
