Objective:
Exposure Characterization Core (University of Michigan)
PI: J. Timothy Dvonch, Ph.D.
The GLACIER Air Pollution Center includes three projects to assess the impacts of air pollution exposure at field study locations with specific types of air pollution emission source impacts. Our Center’s overall hypothesis is that primary air pollutants, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3), are (1) capable of causing important adverse health effects that are (2) dependent on the local combinations of air pollutants, (3) a person’s pre-existing health condition, and (4) the interactive adverse effects of exposure to both PM2.5 and O3. As part of GLACIER, our Exposure Characterization Core (ECC) coordinates with and supports GLACIER Projects 1-3 to provide measurements of air pollutant exposure. Our previous work in human population studies, as well as human and animal studies of exposure to concentrated ambient particles (CAP) and ozone have demonstrated the critical importance of complete exposure characterization. Several of these studies have identified adverse health effects related to metabolic syndrome such as development of high blood pressure due to specific components of air pollution, as well as specific sources of air pollution. Because ambient PM is currently regulated on a mass basis, assuming all particles equally impact health, it is clear that in order to determine the most effective way in which to regulate PM and ensure that reductions in PM do in fact improve human health, additional studies are required. The proposed ECC is designed to investigate the components and sources of air pollution prominent across the Great Lakes region that are responsible for adverse health effects. The ECC is highly innovative in design by virtue of the use of mobile ambient particle concentrators coupled with mobile toxicological laboratories to evaluate the acute health effects of air pollution dominated by different chemical components and sources. These mobile labs will be stationed in three communities in Michigan (Detroit, Dearborn, and Dexter) for short-term exposure studies conducted in Projects 1 and 2, as well as two locations in Columbus, OH, for long-term exposure studies in Project 3. The ECC will specifically utilize these five exposure sites in Michigan and Ohio primarily impacted by (1) near-roadway motor vehicle emissions (two sites), (2) industrial point sources (one site), and (3) regionally transported air pollution (no local emission sources, two sites). The primary objectives of the ECC are to: characterize the chemical components of air pollution exposure, identify the sources of air pollution exposure, and assess the air pollution components and sources responsible for the adverse cardiometabolic responses observed for each of Projects 1-3.
Biostatistics and Data Management Core (University of Michigan)
PIs: Bhramar Mukherjee, Ph.D., and Cathie Spino, Sc.D.
The overarching thesis of the EPA Great Lakes Air Center for Integrated Environmental Research (GLACIER) is that the primary air pollutants, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3), cause cardiometabolic health effects that are dependent on 1) the local multipollutant atmospheric milieu, 2) the individual’s pre-existing cardiovascular and metabolic condition, and 3) the interactive toxicity of PM2.5 and O3 coexposure. The objectives of the GLACIER Biostatistics and Data Management Core (BDMC) are to provide guidance for the statistical design and analysis of studies and data management services that allow for the integration of the data into a single platform that facilitates timely analysis for GLACIER investigators and projects. In the modern era of environmental sciences research, research investigators are generating a vast amount of data on multiple pollutants, health outcomes with the goal of studying the health effects caused by an ensemble of pollutants. Although our understanding of the mechanisms in which multipollutant mixtures cause/affect/mediate chronic diseases remains in its infancy, a major goal of this core is to equip the investigators of GLACIER to face the challenges in exploring the intricacies of statistical modeling for mixtures of pollutants. The Core, consisting of biostatisticians, experienced with working on problems relevant to environmental health sciences, will equip the investigator with state of the art statistical modeling techniques to understand the generated data.
In addition, essential attention to data collection and management activities prior to and during the conduct of studies in a platform that allows collaborative interchange between the scientists at the source of the data and statisticians at the analytic end of the data provides the ability to analyze complex and rich data more fully and efficiently at the close of each study.
Progress Summary:
Exposure Characterization Core (University of Michigan)
PI: J. Timothy Dvonch, Ph.D.
There have been no changes in ECC core investigators. To date in Year 2 of the ECC core, we have successfully completed the human exposures for Project 1 at our rural Dexter, MI site for all subjects (including 2 exposures per subject, coarse CAP and filtered air), and are now working to complete laboratory analysis and data analyses for PM mass and associated components. We are also active now in the transition phase of Project 1, where we are preparing all logistical aspects to move our mobile exposure facility to the urban/industrial Dearborn site, which is expected to take place in September 2012.
We have also completed the first phase of acute animal exposures for Project 2, which took place at the Dearborn site, the field component of which was completed in late August of 2011. Exposure characterization for these exposure studies included operation of the SEAS aerosol slurry sampler mobile laboratory, as well as the EPA collaborative components of GLACIER Year 1: the EPA Chemvol Tox mobile lab and Tisch samplers for organic speciation. Laboratory analysis and data analyses for PM mass and associated components for these exposure studies are ongoing. Last, chronic animal exposures and associated exposure characterization as part of Project 3 began during the latter half of 2011 at the Columbus sites. Data and sample collection and analysis are ongoing as part of these efforts.
Biostatistics and Data Management Core (University of Michigan)
PIs: Bhramar Mukherjee, Ph.D., and Cathie Spino, Sc.D.
The Biostatistics and Data Management Core has collaborated with investigators from Project 2 to QC and analyze the first experiment investigating acute CAP and ozone exposures in rodent models of cardiometabolic syndrome. Analyses resulted in an abstract and presentation at the Society of Toxicology 51st Annual Meeting, March 11–15, 2012, in San Francisco, CA. The Core also re-assessed the sample size considerations for the first experiment of Project 1, supporting a reduction in the sample size. Finally, Drs. Mukherjee and Spino participated in the CLARC Biostatistics Workshop in Boston in June 2012.
In addition to statistical activities, the Core has enhanced and maintained the public access website (http://greatlakesairresearchcenter.org/ Exit ), collaborating with Dr. Jack Harkema and other project investigators. It provides information about GLACIER, its Projects and Cores, a directory of key personnel for each project, information on the Mobile Labs, and links to Clean Air Centers and other EPA links. There is a link to future publications that will arise from this research. Effort began this reporting period to build the GLACIER intranet, with user accounts created. In addition, standard formatting of study information including study design, codebooks, descriptive statistics (both tabular and graphical) and analysis datasets were created and implemented for the first GLACIER studies from Project 2. Discussions with Project 1 and the Exposure Core were held to provide input into data structures and prepare for expedient analysis of Project 1 and incorporation of Exposure Core data into analyses of cardiometabolic parameters.
Design consultation on each project is being provided by Dr. Bhramar Mukherjee (Project 1), Dr. Brisa Sanchez (Project 2) and Dr Lu Wang (Project 3).
Future Activities:
Exposure Characterization Core (University of Michigan)
PI: J. Timothy Dvonch, Ph.D.
Exposure characterization in support of human exposures for Project 1 will transition from the rural Dexter site to the urban/industrial Dearborn site in September 2012. These human exposures at the Dearborn site will continue through Year 3 of the project. The next phase of exposure characterization activities in support of animal exposures for Project 2 are scheduled to be conducted at the rural Dexter site in late 2012/early 2013, with associated lab activities continuing through Year 3 of the project. Chronic animal exposures and associated exposure characterization as part of Project 3 are ongoing at the Columbus sites, and will continue through 2012 and into Year 3 of the project. Data and sample collection and analysis are ongoing as part of these efforts and will continue as scheduled through Year 1 and into Year 2 of the study. Exposure characterization in support of Project 2 at the urban Dearborn site will also continue according to schedule through summer of Year 1, and again during summer of Year 2. Years 1 and 2 of ECC Core activities are heavily focused on carrying out the logistics of site preparation and installation for field-based exposure studies. In the current Year 2 and more so into Year 3, the large lab-based analytical effort currently underway with specific focus on chemical characterization of collected exposure samples and associated data processing and QA will develop into drafting of additional conference presentations and associated publications.
Biostatistics and Data Management Core (University of Michigan)
PIs: Bhramar Mukherjee, Ph.D., and Cathie Spino, Sc.D.
In the next reporting period, additional analyses will be run to finalize interpretation of the first experiments for Project 2, as well as completion of analyses for the second and third experiments for Project 2. Analyses will commence for the randomized controlled experiment for Project 1, beginning with QC efforts and descriptive statistics. In addition, maintenance of the GLACIER public website and enhancement and further development of the GLACIER intranet will take continue. Project 3 data and Exposure Core data will be transferred to the GLACIER intranet. Research methods development on high-resolution temporal data being generated in Project 1 using multi-scale models will remain a primary focus in Year 2.
