  2. 11. Removal of ultrafine particles by intermediate air filters in ventilation systems. Evaluation of performance and analysis of applications

    Author : Bingbing Shi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; measurements; ultrafine particles; lifetime cost; indoor air quality; health effect; air cleaning; particle source; modelling; intermediate filter; filter standard;

    Abstract : Epidemiological and toxicological studies demonstrate that ultrafine particles (UFPs) are strongly related with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and syndromes. One common method to reduce human exposure to particulate air pollution is the use of intermediate class filters (F5-F9 class filters according to EN779:2002). READ MORE

  4. 12. Impacts of urbanisation on birds : Disentangling the effects of multiple pollutants on avian behaviour and physiology

    Author : Ann-Kathrin Ziegler; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial light at night; ALAN; antioxidants; great tit; light pollution; LPS; multi-stressor; noise pollution; tropospheric ozone; urbanisation; zebra finch;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic pollution is a pervasive feature of urbanisation, reaching into ecosystems worldwide and posing novel challenges to wildlife. Not surprisingly, differences in behaviour, and physiology, have been found between urban and rural populations. READ MORE

  5. 13. Adverse effects of exposure to air pollutants during fetal development and early life : with focus on pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery, and childhood asthma

    Author : David Olsson; Bertil Forsberg; Beate Ritz; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Air pollution; pregnancy outcomes; asthma; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

    Abstract : Background Air pollution exposure has been shown to have adverse effects on several health outcomes, and numerous studies have reported associations with cardiovascular morbidity, respiratory disease, and mortality. Over the last decade, an increasing number of studies have investigated possible associations with pregnancy outcomes, including preterm delivery. READ MORE

  6. 14. Interaction of genetic susceptibility and traffic-related air pollution in cardiovascular disease

    Author : Anna Levinsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; genetic variants; air pollution; gene-environment interaction;

    Abstract : This thesis aimed at investigating gene-environment interaction in cardiovascular disease (CVD). A study population of 618 coronary heart disease (CHD) cases (of which 192 first-time acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients) and 3614 randomly selected population controls was genotyped for genetic variants in genes coding for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and glutathione s-transferase (GST).

  7. 15. Cardiovascular and pulmonary health effects of air pollution - long term effects in Sweden and effects of wood smoke

    Author : Leo Stockfelt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Air pollution; wood smoke; human exposure studies; dispersion modelling; cohort studies; cardiovascular disease;

    Abstract : Exposure to air pollution is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Main suggested mechanisms are airway and systemic inflammation, affecting hemostasis in the short term and atherosclerosis in the long term. READ MORE
