Endothelial function in relation to low-level chronic residential air pollution in a general population: a cohort study.
BACKGROUND Given the recently updated clean-air targets, this population study assessed endothelial function at low exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤10 µm (PM10) and ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and black carbon (BC). METHODS In 453 Flemish participants (47.7% women; mean ag...
