Objective:
Project 1: Development and Deployment of an Instrumentation Suite for Comprehensive Air Quality Characterization, Including Aerosol ROS
Develop method(s) for measuring reactive oxygen species (ROS) online and semi-continuously, acquire instrumentation and organize measurement program. Undertake an extensive measurement campaign that will characterize spatial distributions of key air quality parameters to inform the Southeastern Center for Air Pollution and Epidemiology (SCAPE) modeling and health studies.
Project 2: Examining In-Vehicle Pollution and Oxidative Stress in a Cohort of Daily Commuters
Examine the effects of exposure to particulate mixtures occurring during automobile commuting and within indoor, non-commuting microenvironments and corresponding measures of oxidative stress-mediated response.
Project 3: Novel Estimates of Pollutant Mixtures and Pediatric Health in Two Birth Cohorts
Explore the interplay between certain early life events, characterizations of air pollutant mixtures developed as part of the Center's Mixtures Characterization Toolkit (MC Toolkit), and a range of pediatric health outcomes using two large, population-based birth cohorts.
Project 4: A Multi-City Time-Series Study of Pollutant Mixtures and Acute Morbidity
Conduct a multi-city time-series study to clarify the impacts of air quality on acute cardiorespiratory morbidity in five U.S. cities using novel mixture characterization metrics.
Core B: Air Quality Core
Provide SCAPE researchers with the methods and data to comprehensively characterize air pollutants relevant to the four projects and other cores. Project activities are supported by collecting and managing atmospheric data, developing the MC Toolkit for further analyses specific to the projects, and providing the expertise and resources to facilitate the application of the various components of the toolkit. Comprehensive characterization of air pollutants is developed by analyses of the detailed chemical and physical measurements conducted by the Center, along with those available from ambient air quality monitoring networks and special field campaigns. Spatial and temporal characterization of the air pollutant mixtures and emission sources are determined by using extended receptor-oriented models, chemical transport models, regression approaches, hybrid methods and remote sensing applied over multiple scales.
Core C: Biostatistics Core
Provide statistical support to the Center and to the associated Projects.
Collaborative Project 1: Characterization of Primary and Secondary Traffic-Related Particles (Collaborators: Harvard and SCAPE)
The objective of this collaborative project is to characterize the composition of tunnel primary, secondary and aged primary plus secondary aerosols generated for exposures in Harvard’s toxicology study (Project 1). Dr. Sally Ng from Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and doctoral student Matt Kollman collaborated with Harvard Clean Air Research Center (CLARC) researchers on this effort, using an Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ACSM) provided by Aerodyne Inc. The ACSM provides quantitative measurement of nonrefractory submicron aerosol composition, including mass spectra, with a time resolution on the order of 15–30 minutes. The ACSM measures organics, nitrate, sulfate, ammonium and chloride. The extent of oxidation of chamber aerosols can also be determined semi-continuously from the mass fraction m/z 44 (CO2+), allowing measurement of the evolution of O/C over the course of each experiment.
Collaborative Project 2: Mobile and Fixed-Site Characterization of Vehicle Emission Impacts in Atlanta, Georgia (Collaborators: SCAPE, Center for Clean Air Research [CCAR], and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA])
The goals of this collaborative project are to compare instruments and methods for characterizing vehicle emissions, personal exposures and spatial distributions by deploying the CCAR measurement platform and sampling protocols in Atlanta for a 16-day period and to compare a limited set of spatially intensive mobile and fixed site measurements of selected pollutants with downscaled Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) predictions in Atlanta.
Collaborative Project 3: Inter-Comparison of Ambient PM2.5 Estimation Models in North Carolina (Collaborators: SCAPE, Harvard, CCAR, and EPA)
The goal of this effort is to summarize the strengths and limitations of current satellite-driven fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure models and CMAQ PM2.5 simulations, and to identify directions for future model development and applications in various population-based health effects studies. There are six candidate models to be evaluated: (1) Koutrakis group's mixed effects model, (2) Chang's spatial downscaler,(3) Liu group's mixed effects model, (4) University of Washington (UW)/CCAR group's spatiotemporal model, and (5) Russell group's CMAQ PM2.5 simulation.
Collaborative Project 4: Measurement Error for Air Pollution Cohort Studies: Application and Comparison of Several Statistical Methods to Georgia Birth Cohort Data (Collaborators: CCAR and SCAPE, possibly Harvard in the future)
The project will consider three statistical approaches to account for measurement error arising from spatiotemporal exposure prediction models. These statistical approaches will be developed and applied to examine linear associations between ambient PM2.5 concentrations and birth weight among full-term births using Georgia statewide geocoded birth records.

Results showed significant decrements in lung function and suggestive elevations in eNO most associated with a factor of in-vehicle PM that was highly enriched with transition metal species.
Project 3: Novel Estimates of Pollutant Mixtures and Pediatric Health in Two Birth Cohorts
- We published associations of ambient air pollution with several different types of respiratory emergency visits among children age 0–4 years in Atlanta (Darrow, et al., 2014, Am J Epidemiol), which received the 2014 Society of Toxicology Occupational Public Health Specialty Section Paper of the Year award. We also published a related manuscript describing the relationship between emergency visits for bronchiolitis during infancy and subsequent risk of emergency visits for asthma after age 5 in Georgia (Strickland, et al., 2014, Pediatr Perinat Epidemiol).
- We published joint effects estimates for NO2, ozone and PM2.5 using classification and regression trees for pediatric asthma emergency visits in a three-city study (Atlanta, GA; Dallas, TX; St. Louis, MO) (Gass, et al., 2015, Environ Health).

- A manuscript describing the fusion of observational data with chemical transport model simulations and a manuscript describing the link between reactive oxygen species and cardiorespiratory effects are undergoing peer review.
- Preliminary results were generated for a Georgia-wide analysis of pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and fused CMAQ estimates, and a first draft manuscript has been prepared.
- We finalized the Research Line model (RLINE) air quality model for estimating PM2.5 from traffic emissions in Atlanta for use in the Kaiser Permanente analyses.
- We presented preliminary results for associations between RLINE estimates and incidence of asthma in the Kaiser Permanente cohort at the 2015 Society for Epidemiologic Research annual meeting.
Project 4: A Multi-City Time-Series Study of Pollutant Mixtures and Acute Morbidity
- We continued efforts on the application of spatially refined modeled estimates of ambient concentrations in multi-city epidemiologic analyses, including satellite-derived air quality estimates and the SCAPE data fusion approach (Friberg, et al., submitted to ES&T) in health effect analyses and compared results with use of traditional monitoring-based exposure assignment approaches (Chang, et al., APHA 2014; Sarnat, et al., ENV-VISION 2015; Sarnat, et al., ISEE Conference 2015).
- We continued work on methods for detecting and analyzing air pollution mixtures using multipollutant monitoring data, including classification and regression trees (Gass, et al., 2015); self-organizing maps (Pearce, et al., 2014; Pearce, et al., 2015; Pearce, et al., ISEE Conference 2015); joint effects and other approaches to estimating the effects of pollutant groups (Ye, et al., ISEE Conference 2015); examination of the effect of ROS on health using retrospectively predicted DTT activity (Bates, et al., submitted to ES&T; Bates, et al., CMAS 2015, abstract pending; Bates, et al., AAAR 2015); and estimating and comparing effects of sources of PM2.5 across multiple cities (Krall, et al., submitted to EHP; Krall, et al. JSM 2015).
- We continued work on examining detailed PM2.5 components data in epidemiologic analyses (Sarnat, et al., 2015; Ye, et al., ISEE Conference 2015; Krall, et al., submitted to CEHR).
- We conducted preliminary multi-city analyses examining the shape of concentration-response functions using categorical pollution indicators.
- We assessed potential modifiers of the effects of ambient air pollution on health, including age (Alhanti, et al., accepted at JESEE), neighborhood socioeconomic factors (O’Lenick, et al., submitted to JECH; O’Lenick, et al., SER 2015), air exchange rates and season.
Core B: Air Quality Core
- We hosted a workshop on Spatiotemporal Multipollutant Characterization Methods following the 2014 CLARC annual meeting in Atlanta.
- We are leading the preparation of a manuscript covering the various spatiotemporal pollutant modeling methods used by the CLARCs as part of their research.
- The uniquely large data set of ROS, as measured using a DTT assay and advanced as part of Project 1, was modeled using the ensemble-trained chemical mass balance method to develop source-ROS relationships. Those relationships were used to simulate historical trends in ambient PM2.5 DTT-activity. The modeled historical trend in ROS was then used in an epidemiological analysis in Atlanta using a long term ED record to assess the association between ROS (as measured using the DTT assay) and various health outcomes.
- An analysis similar to the above was carried out using ROS measured using the AA assay, and the results were provided to Emory as part of Project 4.
- The OBS-CMAQ data fusion method (described last year) has been applied to the five Project 4 cities. The method was written up in manuscript form and was submitted for publication.
- The same data fusion methodology was applied to North Carolina for comparison as part of the Harvard-Georgia Tech satellite method intercomparison. This work is still in progress.
- Working with the Atlanta Regional Council (ARC) and the Environmental Protection Division (EPD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, we have analyzed their RLINE dispersion modeling results using our CMB mobile source impacts at monitors in Atlanta, as well as the OBS-CMAQ data fusion/with the Integrated Mobile Source Indicator (IMSI) to rescale the RLINE results to more closely follow observations.
- Using the rescaled ARC/EPD RLINE results, mapped to 250 m resolution grids, we have explored various methods to provide researchers in Project 3 with 250 m resolution PM2.5 fields. Methods examined include (a) use of Emory's statistical downscaler using satellite observations or CMAQ model results and the RLINE results and combining, and (b) directly combining RLINE and the OBS-CMAQ fields.
- We applied the CMAQ-Decoupled Direct Method (CMAQ-DDM) model, described last year in the progress report as well as in a publication, to additional years to determine the source impact for 40 PM2.5 species from 20 source categories in the 36-km continental United States (CONUS) domain. We also have been investigating how to better correct source impacts for secondary aerosol formation and to improve source profiles.
- We developed multipollutant CMAQ fields for the 2013 period when the UWCCAR was conducting its collaborative measurements in Atlanta. The CMAQ fields were provided to CCAR. Both of our teams have compared CCAR's observations to our modeled results, as well as to our fixed site measurements.
Core C: Biostatistics Core
As part of and in addition to their participation in SCAPE research projects, members of the Biostatistics Core participated in a number of peer-reviewed publications and presentations relating to development and application of advanced epidemiologic and statistical methods. Core contributions include—
- Ten new peer-reviewed publications were published and two additional ones were accepted for publication; multiple presentations were given at national conferences.
- Postdoctoral researcher Jenna Krall and Project 3 PI Matthew Strickland presented their analyses of health effects of pollutant mixtures as part of an invitation-only workshop on mixture analysis by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Additional analyses by Core Director Lance Waller were also included as a poster.
Collaborative Project 1: Characterization of Primary and Secondary Traffic-Related Particles (Collaborators: Harvard and SCAPE)
For exposures conducted during the collaboration, the ACSM was operated continuously. The goal was to provide complementary chemical data, including near real-time determination of the contribution of primary and secondary aerosols, as well as the extent of oxidation over the course of each experiment. An additional goal of the collaboration was to provide information about the atmosphere inside the photochemical chamber and how the secondary products relate to those found in the atmosphere. To do this, the ACSM was operated through the normal startup procedures of the photochemical chamber during the primary plus secondary organic aerosol (P+SOA) and SOA-only atmospheres, as well as with the primary tunnel particles (P), to evaluate the changes observed in aerosol evolution as the photochemical chamber output stabilized prior to exposures. During this portion of the study, additional measurements collocated with the ACSM were made, including integrated particle mass, EC/OC, and trace elemental concentrations, as well as continuous particle size distribution using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS).
During animal exposures, measurements were made at the point of exposure, including integrated particle mass, EC/OC, and trace elemental concentrations, as well as continuous particle size distribution using an SMPS. During the hours where animals were not being exposed, a collocated SMPS along with the ACSM were operated, but the remaining chamber output was utilized for collecting samples for analysis for reactive oxygen species.
The data analysis has been completed. We are preparing a manuscript. Below is a summary of the main findings from this study:
- There are some variations in the organic aerosol loading in each exposure environment. The loadings are fairly constant for P only (9.4 µg/m3) and P+SOA (2.1 µg/m3). However, for the SOA-only atmosphere, there is a clear diurnal cycle in the organic aerosol loading (highest around midnight). The average organic loading for the SOA-only system is also the highest among the three systems, at 13 µg/m3.
- Results from PMF analysis of each system reveal the presence of highly oxygenated organic aerosols (OOA) in all exposure environments. Surprisingly, even the P-only system contains a fair amount of OOA. This could result from the mixing of ambient air with the tunnel air prior to entering the chamber. We resolve an aromatic-type OOA factor, which has not been resolved in prior studies. The high levels of aromatic hydrocarbons under these exposure environments and the lack of biogenic influences likely make the aromatic OOA more distinctive in this study. Hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA) is only resolved in the P-only system and P+SOA system, which is expected.
- The total DTT activity of the aerosols increases with the OC content of the sample.
- The intrinsic DTT activity of the aerosols formed in the three test environments are comparable. While the SOA system has the highest intrinsic DTT activity, it also has the largest variation, which could be a result of the more diverse source of SOA.
- The intrinsic DTT activity of traffic aerosols in this study is comparable to ambient PM and oxidized OOA in Atlanta.
- Results from this study clearly demonstrate that organic aerosols alone can generate ROS. Many prior studies attributed DTT activity of ambient aerosols to metals. In this study, the SOA system does not contain any metals but still exhibits a similar level of DTT activity compared to the other two systems.
Collaborative Project 2: Mobile and Fixed-Site Characterization of Vehicle Emission Impacts in Atlanta (Collaborators: SCAPE, CCAR, and EPA)
We have been working with our CCAR collaborators to evaluate how well the ambient monitoring network and emissions-based regional scale (CMAQ chemical transport model) and local scale (RLINE dispersion model) compare with mobile platform measurements of air pollutant concentration gradients in metropolitan Atlanta. The CCAR mobile platform measurements taken in September 2013 included “fuzzy point” characterizations and three trips originating and ending at an Atlanta central monitor location (Jefferson Street, SEARCH monitor). One trip included a southeastern segment of the Atlanta perimeter highway from the airport to a CSN monitoring site. A second route included taking the I-75/I-85 connector to a large highway intersection (“spaghetti junction”) in northeastern Atlanta. A third route extended 60 km west to the rural SEARCH monitor at Yorkville.
Fuzzy point medians were compared with ambient monitor measurements and 4-km, 1-hr CMAQ predictions for NO2, NOx, ozone, black carbon, and nephelometer measurements. Pearson R-squared values for fuzzy point assessments with ambient measurements ranged from 0.37 to 0.89. R-squared values were lower when compared with CMAQ predictions due to the lack of spatial and temporal resolution of the CMAQ predictions, as well as model limitations. Comparison of trip measurements with RLINE predictions and with roadside stationary measurements is ongoing. Passive badge data will also be evaluated to assess pollutant gradients.
Collaborative Project 3: Inter-Comparison of Ambient PM2.5 Estimation models in North Carolina (Collaborators: SCAPE, Harvard, CCAR, and EPA)
We have designed a modeling domain centered in North Carolina for the 2006–2008 time period. To facilitate model cross-comparison, a common input dataset was compiled by Liu group, including MODIS total Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) values, derived meteorological parameters and, from the UW database, GIS-based spatial covariates. This was distributed to all participating research teams. A common master modeling grid at 10-km resolution was developed by Liu group and shared by all teams. A set of common procedures and statistics will be jointly developed by all participating teams to evaluate model performance. After preliminary results are generated, each team will document their model development in sufficient detail for other teams to reproduce their results. The estimated deliverable of this project will be a manuscript to report evaluation results.
As of June 2015, the Emory team has worked with the Harvard team to generate the final model development and prediction datasets using MODIS collection 6 AOD data at 10 km resolution over North Carolina for the proposed study period. Quality flags are included to mark potential outliers. The Emory team has completed model development with the updated dataset using Chang's spatial downscaler and Liu group's mixed effects model. The Harvard and UW teams will complete their model runs in August. National scale evaluation of the quality of various MODIS collection 6 AOD parameters are underway. In addition, Air Quality Core personnel have applied the OBS-CMAQ fusion approach to the domain, conducted data withholding cross validation and compared the results to the Emory AOD-based method. The Emory team is working to process Georgia Tech's CMAQ output.
Collaborative Project 4: Measurement Error for Air Pollution Cohort Studies: Application and Comparison of Several Statistical Methods to Georgia Birth Cohort Data (Collaborators: CCAR and SCAPE, possibly Harvard in the future)
Emory investigators have successfully applied UW's spatiotemporal exposure model to predict ambient PM2.5 concentrations across the state of Georgia. The exposures were linked to individual birth records at the Census blockgroup level. Preliminary health analyses were conducted and the results were discussed among collaborators across CLARC centers during the Annual Meeting. Pending final sensitivity studies by Emory investigators, this component of the health analysis is complete and development of Bayesian measurement error methods will begin. UW has begun replicating Emory’s analysis and has put in place software and procedure for applying the parameter bootstrap to assess bias and/or inflated standard errors from measurement error.
