2004 Progress Report: Research Center for Particulate Air Pollution and Health
EPA Grant Number: R827355Center: Airborne PM - Northwest Research Center for Particulate Air Pollution and Health
Center Director: Koenig, Jane Q.
Title: Research Center for Particulate Air Pollution and Health
Investigators: Koenig, Jane Q.
Institution: University of Washington
EPA Project Officer: Stacey Katz/Gail Robarge,
Project Period: June 1, 1999 through May 30, 2004 (Extended to May 31, 2006)
Project Period Covered by this Report: June 1, 2003 through May 30, 2004
Project Amount: $8,288,977
RFA: Airborne Particulate Matter (PM) Centers (1999)
Research Category: Particulate Matter
Description:
Objective:The Northwest (NW) Research Center for Particulate Air Pollution and Health integrates the efforts of a multidisciplinary team of scientists with expertise in environmental exposure assessment, toxicology, epidemiology, and biostatistics to address critical aspects of the health effects related to particulate matter (PM) air pollution. The theme of this Center is combustion-derived fine particulate composition, exposures, and health effects. Atmospheric fine particulate components vary regionally as a result of climate, industry, and resources. Elucidation of relationships among ambient air quality, population exposures, and population health (and study of these regional differences as a strategic approach to uncovering causative agents and mechanisms of effect) will provide crucial information for understanding and preventing PM-associated health effects.
The Northwest PM Center is well positioned to advance the understanding of population exposures to atmospheric PM and resulting health effects by linking and building on the following aspects of Northwest PM activity: (1) the innovative programs of PM measurement in Northwest states conducted by the University of Washington (UW), Washington State University, and local air agencies, together with ongoing and anticipated enhancements such as the PM2.5 network; (2) the expertise and progress to date by academic and local air agencies in characterization of sources, atmospheric transport and transformation models, ambient impacts, and personal or community exposures to fine PM; (3) the University and affiliated resources for research in related biomedical areas such as toxicology, epidemiology, biostatistics, and biomarkers. The Center will accomplish its aims by providing administrative infrastructure, research funding, and technical support to help focus and link studies of PM that address aerosol characterization for exposure assessment, population studies aimed at establishing the role of PM exposures in cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality, and toxicological studies that seek to establish causative agents and physiological processes. The research projects are focused on epidemiology, exposure assessment, health effects, dosimetry, and toxicology. Center research and related research are assisted by three resource service cores: health, exposure, and biostatistics. These cores provide expertise, services, and resources to assist projects and to maximize the cross-project benefits of shared data and methods.
Progress Summary:Highlights of Year 6 for the NW PM Center
The highlights and accomplishments of the NW PM Center were presented at an all day symposium on January 24, 2005, which was the first day of the 2-day external Science Advisory Committee (eSAC). This was the sixth meeting with the Center’s eSAC. Highlights included the following: (1) characterization of exposure and sources; (2) development of a model for estimating source-specific health effects and case-crossover studies of cardiac effects in Seattle; (3) study of associations between bronchiolitis and PM in Southern California; (4) description of associations between cardiac outcomes and chronic exposure in the Women’s Health Initiative cohort; (5) use of exhaled nitric oxide as a model for health outcomes by exploring short-term effects and partitioning exposure into ambient-generated versus indoor-generated particles; (6) construction of a diesel exposure chamber; (7) development and validation of the apo-E deficient mouse model for use in air pollution studies; and (8) new developments in statistical methods.
Future Activities:Future projects are described separately for the projects that are continuing.
