The following operators are available : & : AND, | : OR, ! : NOT, as well as levels of parentheses.
Example: "oral & ! doctoral & ( acute | ( occupational & ! university ))" will search for texts containing "oral" but not "doctoral" and either "acute" or "occupational", but "occupational" only if there is no occurence of "university".

Projects

>> Air pollution and cardiovascular disease

The aims of this project are to examine the association between ambient air pollution and sub-clinical markers of cardiovascular disease (heart rate variability, cardiac function, homocysteine) and to assess genes-environment and nutrient-environment interactions.

>> Cardiovascular Effects of Urban and Rural Coarse Particulate Matter in African American and White Adults.

Goal: To demonstrate that short-term concentrated ambient coarse PM (CAP) inhalation (1) triggers pro-vasoconstrictive vascular dysfunctions related to (mediated by) CV autonomic imbalance; and (2) that these responses occur in African American and White adults alike following exposure to both urban and rural coarse PM; and (3) to elucidate the constituents/sources responsible for the CV responses.. >> more

>> Community Approaches to Cardiovascular Health in Detroit.

Goal: To assess community member's perceptions of the built environment in Detroit, MI and its impact on prevention of cardiovascular disease; to assess community member's perceptions and knowledge about the built environment and impact on physical activity, dietary practices, and obesity; to design and implement a pilot study around potentially modifiable aspects of the built environment to improve.. >> more

>> The Environmentally-Related Disease Unit of the Normative Aging Study (ERDU-NAS)

The Normative Aging Study (NAS) is a longitudinal study of 2,280 healthy male volunteers begun in Boston in the 1960s. Beginning in 1991 with an NIEHS R01 grant to study the impact of environmental lead exposure on risk of hypertension (NIEHS R01 ES 05257; PI: Howard Hu), NAS participants were invited to undergo bone and blood lead measurements. This project and a series of successful competitive.. >> more

Groups

>> Park Lab - Environmental Epidemiology of Air Pollution and Heavy Metals

Leader: Sung Kyun Park (Sc.D., M.P.H.)

Sung Kyun is interested in health effects of air pollution and metals exposure in aging populations. He has been working on the associations between air pollution, lead and subclinical cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart rate variability and homocysteine, using the Normative Aging Study. Sung Kyun is working on age-related diseases, such as impairment in renal function, age-related cataract and.. >> more

Environmental Epidemiology of Air Pollution and Heavy Metals

>> Dvonch Lab - Exposure Assessment, Source Identification, and Health Effects of Air Pollutants

Leader: J. Timothy Dvonch (Ph.D.)

Dr. Dvonch's work focuses on the exposure assessment, source identification, and health effects of air pollutants. He obtained a B.S. in Chemistry in 1992. In 1994, he earned an M.S. in Environmental Health Sciences, and subsequently a Ph.D. in Environmental Health Sciences in 1998. Dr. Dvonch collaborates on several large multi-disciplinary projects focused on environmental exposures and their related.. >> more
