RFA: Understanding the Role of Nonchemical Stressors and Developing Analytic Methods for Cumulative Risk Assessments (2009) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Human Health
Objective:
The PI will test how chronic psychological stress modifies inflammatory and pulmonary function effects of acute exposures to traffic-related air pollutants. The primary outcomes he will evaluate are acute changes in fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO), a marker of pulmonary inflammation, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), a measure of lung function. He will look at the role of both psychosocial stress and air pollutant exposure individually and together in affecting FENO and FEV1.
Progress Summary:
Future Activities:
Researchers will continue enrolling subjects and collecting data.
