Association between Ambient Particulate Air Pollution and Soluble Biomarkers of Endothelial Function: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The burden of cardiovascular diseases caused by ambient particulate air pollution is universal. An increasing number of studies have investigated the potential effects of exposure to particulate air pollution on endothelial function, which is one of the important mechanisms for the onset and development of cardiovascular disease. However, no previous study has conducted a summary analysis of the potential effects of particulate air pollution on endothelial function.

Objectives

To summarize the evidence for the potential effects of short-term exposure to ambient particulate air pollution on endothelial function based on existing studies.

Methods

A systematic literature search on the relationship between ambient particulate air pollution and biomarkers of end
