DUVALL, R. M., G. A. NORRIS, J. M. BURKE, J. K. MCGEE, M. I. GILMOUR, AND R. B. DEVLIN. SOURCE APPORTIONMENT OF PARTICULATE MATTER IN THE U.S. AND ASSOCIATIONS WITH IN VIVO AND IN VITRO LUNG INFLAMMATORY MARKERS. Presented at 29th NATO/SPS International Technical Meeting, Aveiro, PORTUGAL, September 24 - 28, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
The overall goal of this task is to apply exposure and source apportionment tools (measurements and models) to support ongoing and planned health studies.
Description:
This is an abstract submitted to the 29th NATO International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modelling and its Application. In this research, sources of particulate matter were determined in cities across the U.S. using the chemical mass balance receptor model. The sources were then compared to in vivo and in vitro lung inflammatory markers to examine links between sources and health effects.
