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.

This project is aimed at adapting a high-performance prototype portable gas chromatograph (GC) to the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled human breath. The instrument incorporates a detector consisting of an integrated array of chemiresistors (CR) coated with functionalized nanoparticles that respond differentially to sorbed vapors to produce a response pattern that aids in vapor.. >> more

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

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

Leader: Howard Hu (M.D., M.P.H., Sc.D.)
The Mission of the Michigan Metals Epidemiology Research Group (MERG) is to gain new insights into the impacts of exposure to potentially toxic metals that are of critical importance to public health and medicine by applying multi-disciplinary and novel methods of exposure assessment, genetics, nutrition, psychosocial factors and clinical measurements in epidemiologic studies of human populations around.. >> more
