Aerial emissions from a swine house at North Carolina State University's field laboratory were diluted to a level that could occur at varying distances downwind from a confined animal feeding operation (CAFO) both within and beyond the property line, and these emissions were delivered to an environmental exposure chamber. The study design consisted of two 1-hr sessions, one in which 48 healthy human adult volunteers were exposed to diluted swine air and another in which they were e...

Environmental Health Perspectives ; Globally, almost 3 billion people rely on biomass (wood, charcoal, crop residues, and dung) and coal as their primary source of domestic energy. Exposure to indoor air pollution (IAP) from the combustion of solid fuels is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. In
Systemic microvascular dysfunction and inflammation after pulmonary particulate matter exposure.(Research)
Environmental Health Perspectives ; The epidemiologic association between pulmonary exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular dysfunction is well known, but the systemic mechanisms that drive this effect remain unclear. We have previously shown that acute pulmonary exposure to PM impairs or abolishes

Environmental Health Perspectives ; In studies designed to evaluate exposure--response relationships in children's development from conception through puberty, multiple factors that affect the generation of meaningful exposure metrics must be considered. These factors include multiple routes of exposure; the timing, frequency, and
Nitrogen dioxide exposure and urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and desmosine.
Archives of Environmental Health ; EXPOSURE to high levels of nitrogen dioxide ([NO.sub.2]) is associated with lung injury in experimental animals and humans, but knowledge of the consequences of exposure to low concentrations of [NO.sub.2] is incomplete.
