CHANGES IN LUNG FUNCTION OBSERVED IN A STUDY OF PM AND AIR TOXICS EXPOSURE TO NC HIGHWAY PATROL TROOPERS (COPP-STUDY). Presented at American Thoracic Society, Atlanta, Georgia, May 17-22, 2002.
Description:
Introduction: Car emissions have been identified as a major source of respirable particles. Individuals whose jobs involve being on the road, such as patrol troopers, may be exposed to high cencentrations of toxic air pollutants from vehicle emissions. This exposure might alter cardiac and pulmonary function, induce imflammation and change concentrations of vasoactive mediators in the plasma.
