Center: EPA NYU PM Center: Health Risks of PM Components
Center Director: Lippmann, Morton
Title: PM Components and NYC Respiratory and Cardiovascular Morbidity
Investigators: Ito, Kazuhiko
Institution: NYU School of Medicine
EPA Project Officer: Stacey Katz/Gail Robarge,
Project Period: June 1, 1999 through May 31, 2005 (Extended to May 31, 2006)
RFA: Airborne Particulate Matter (PM) Centers (1999)
Research Category: Particulate Matter

Description:

Objective:

The objective of this research project is to identify key particulate matter (PM) components and source types that are associated with respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and to provide excess risk estimates for subpopulations that are characterized by age group, diagnoses, and subareas within New York City. This project takes advantage of the newly available rich chemical speciation data being collected in New York City and the hospital admission data for all ages from the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System. We also will examine the emergency room (ER) visits for asthma in the New York City hospitals (a collaboration with Robert Silverman at the Long Island Jewish Hospital and Lori Stevenson at the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine with no additional cost).
