Long-term exposure to particulate air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, but the biological process has not been understood. Repeated scans were done for nearly all participants between 2002 and 2005; for a subset of participants between 2005 and 2007; and for half of all participants between 2010 and 2012.

The relationships between IVOCs and other pollutants were examined to develop methods for estimating IVOC emissions from existing data. IVOC emissions were also measured from five SOREs used in lawn and garden equipment, including two 2-stroke and three 4-stroke engines manufactured between 2002 and 2006. —Zhao et al. 5b06247.
