Objective: There is limited information on the public health impact of wildfires. The relationship cardiorespiratory hospital admissions (n = 40 856) to wildfire-related particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) during catastrophic wildfires in southern California October 2003 was evaluated. Methods: Zip code level PM concentrations were estimated using spatial interpolations from measured , light extinction, meteorological conditions, and smoke MODIS satellite images at 250 m resolution. Generalised...
Preeclampsia is a major complication of pregnancy that can lead to substantial maternal and perinatal morbidity, mortality, preterm birth. Increasing evidence suggests air pollution adversely affects outcomes. Yet few studies have examined how local traffic-generated emissions affect preeclampsia in addition birth.We effects residential exposure on delivery (PTD).We identified 81,186 singleton birth records from four hospitals (1997-2006) Los Angeles Orange Counties, California (USA). We...
Abstract Objective To examine associations between early developmental exposure to ambient pesticides and autism spectrum disorder. Design Population based case-control study. Setting California’s main agricultural region, Central Valley, using 1998-2010 birth data from the Office of Vital Statistics. 2961 individuals with a diagnosis disorder on Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders , fourth edition, revised (up 31 December 2013), including 445 intellectual disability comorbidity,...
Globally, in 2019, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was the third leading cause of death. While tobacco smoking is predominant risk factor, role long-term air pollution exposure increasing COPD remains unclear. Moreover, there are few studies that have been conducted racial and ethnic minoritized socioeconomically diverse populations, while accounting for history other known factors. To evaluate association ambient a multiethnic population California. Among 38,654 African...
In late October 2003, Southern California wildfires burned more than 3,000 km2. The produced heavy smoke that affected several communities participating in the University of Children's Health Study (CHS).
:Structural inequalities provide an important context for understanding and responding to the impact of high traffic densities on disadvantaged neighborhoods. Emerging atmospheric science epidemiological research indicates hazardous vehicle-related pollutants (e.g., diesel exhaust) are highly concentrated near major roadways, prevalence respiratory ailments mortality heightened in these high-traffic corridors. This article builds recent findings that low-income minority children California...
Background: The literature on traffic-related air pollution and childhood cancers is inconclusive, little known rarer cancer types.Objectives: We sought to examine associations between exposure.Methods: present study included children < 6 years of age identified in the California Cancer Registry (born 1998–2007) who could be linked a birth certificate (n = 3,590). Controls were selected at random from birthrolls 80,224). CAlifornia LINE Source Dispersion Modeling, version 4 (CALINE4) was...
Background: Ambient air pollution has been associated with asthma-related hospital admissions and emergency department visits (hospital encounters). We hypothesized that higher individual exposure to residential traffic-related pollutants would enhance these associations. Methods: studied 11,390 encounters among 7492 subjects 0–18 years of age living in Orange County, California. exposures were measured at regional monitoring stations. Seasonal average (PM2.5, ultrafine particles, NOx, CO)...
Background:Preterm birth (PTB) has been associated with exposure to air pollution, but it is unclear whether effects might vary among pollution sources and components.Objectives:We studied the relationships between PTB different components of including gases particulate matter (PM) by size fraction, chemical composition, sources.Methods:Fine ultrafine PM (respectively, PM2.5 PM0.1) source composition were modeled across California over 2000–2008. Measured PM2.5, nitrogen dioxide, ozone...
Previous studies using different exposure methods to assess air pollution and breast cancer risk among primarily whites have been inconclusive. Air pollutant exposures of particulate matter oxides nitrogen were estimated by kriging (NO x , NO 2 PM 10 2.5 ), land use regression (LUR, ) California Line Source Dispersion model (CALINE4, for 57,589 females from the Multiethnic Cohort, residing largely in Los Angeles County recruitment (1993–1996) through 2010. Cox proportional hazards models...
Epidemiological findings are inconsistent regarding the associations between air pollution exposure during pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Several limitations exist in previous studies, including potential outcome misclassification, unassessed confounding, lack of simultaneous consideration mixtures particulate matter (PM) constituents.To assess association GDM maternal residential to pollution, joint effect mixture pollutants PM constituents.Detailed clinical data were...
Previous studies suggested that air pollutants may increase the incidence of metabolic syndrome, but potential impact from traffic sources is not well-understood. This study aimed to investigate associations between traffic-related nitrogen oxides (NOx) or noise pollution and risk incident syndrome its components in an elderly Mexican-American population. A total 1,554 participants Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging (SALSA) cohort were followed 1998 2007. We used anthropometric measures...
Recent studies have reported inconsistent associations between maternal residential green space and preterm birth (PTB, born < 37 completed gestational weeks). In addition, windows of susceptibility during pregnancy not been explored potential interactions with air pollution exposures are still unclear.To evaluate the relationships PTB, identify susceptibility, explore pollution.Birth certificate records for all births in California (2001-2008) were obtained. The Normalized Difference...
Estimating PM2.5 concentrations and their prediction uncertainties at a high spatiotemporal resolution is important for air pollution health effect studies. This particularly challenging California, which has variability in natural (e.g, wildfires, dust) anthropogenic emissions, meteorology, topography (e.g. desert surfaces, mountains, snow cover) land use. Using ensemble-based deep learning with big data fused from multiple sources we developed model uncertainty estimates spatial (1 km × 1...
Wildfires can be detrimental to urban and rural communities, causing impacts in the form of psychological stress, direct physical injury, smoke-related morbidity mortality. This study examined area burned by wildfires over entire state California from years 2000 2020 order quantify identify whether fire frequency differed across Census tracts according socioeconomic indicators time. Wildfire data were obtained Fire Resource Assessment Program (FRAP) National Interagency Center (NIFC), while...

Although the contribution of air pollution to lung cancer risk is well characterized, few studies have been conducted in racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse populations.
Importance Genetic and environmental factors are linked to Parkinson disease (PD), but the role of genetic susceptibility in association between traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) PD remains unclear. Objective To assess gene-environment interaction polygenic risk score (PRS) for long-term TRAP exposure estimate joint effect with risk. Design, Setting, Participants This population-based case-control study used a meta-analytical assessment studies conducted central California Denmark. The...
