Question

Difference between gaseous and particulate Air pollutants

Answer 1

Each day the average person breathes about 15,000 liters, or approximately 35 pounds, of air. Gaseous and particulate contaminants in that air gain access to the body with each breath, and may have both short and long-term effects on human health. Our ongoing studies examine the effects of particle exposure on lung function, airway inflammation, and cardiovascular function.  Utilizing both environmental chamber and mouthpiece exposure systems, subjects are exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of pollutants,with or without exercise.  Respiratory and systemic effects are determined using measures of lung function, examination for markers of inflammation in exhaled air, characterization of blood leukocyte and platelet responses using 3-color flow cytometry, assessment of vascular function, and detailed cardiovascular monitoring.
