Cross-sectional evaluation of exposure to ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate mass levels on circulating immune markers in women in the California Teachers Study.

ABSTRACT: Exposure to ambient air pollutants, specifically ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ultrafine, fine or coarse particulate matter (PM_0.1, PM_2.5, and PM₁₀), has been linked to a number of adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease. Changes in immune response may be a key mechanism underlying these effects. Within the California Teachers Study cohort, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 1,898 women to assess the associations between exposure to O₃, NO₂, PM_0.1, PM_2.5, and PM₁₀ and 15 immune markers measured from serum samples collected in 2015. Daily residential exposures to O₃, NO₂, PM_0.1, PM_2.5, and PM₁₀ we
