Open AccessChange in rate of healthcare encounters for respiratory infection from air pollution exposure after improved vehicle emissions standards in New York State
The introduction of Tier 3 light-duty vehicles with reduced emissions began in New York State (NYS) in 2017, with required compliance by 2025. We hypothesized that improved air quality during the early impleme...

Open AccessDo elevated blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids modify effects of particulate air pollutants on fibrinogen?
Previously, we found short-term increases in ambient particulate matter (PM) air pollutant concentrations were associated with increased serum fibrinogen levels in patients with cardiac disease. We now studied...

Open AccessDaily land use regression estimated woodsmoke and traffic pollution concentrations and the triggering of ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a case-crossover study
Prior work has reported acute associations between ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and short-term increases in airborne particulate matter. Subsequently, the association between STEMI and hourly mea...

Acute changes in ambient temperature are associated with adverse changes in cardiac rhythm
Both increases and decreases in ambient temperature have been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, the mechanism(s) remain unclear. We examined associations between biomar...

Evaluating Alternative Exposure Metrics Used for Multipollutant Air Quality and Human Health Studies
Epidemiologic studies of air pollution have traditionally relied upon surrogates of personal pollutant exposures, such as ambient concentration measurements from fixed-site pollutant monitors. This study evalu...
