Objective:
This research project is a health effects panel study that involves comprehensive health monitoring of one healthy and three susceptible subpopulations in Seattle, Spokane, and other cities. The susceptible individuals proposed for study are adults who are 65 years of age or older and have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or cardiovascular disease or children with asthma. The health endpoints to be measured in adult subjects are peak flow, pulse rate, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and heart rate variability. The health endpoints to be measured in the children with asthma are pulmonary function and symptoms. Personal exposure measurements necessary for associating the health effects with air pollutants will be collected on study participants in Project 2b.Publications and Presentations:
