Higher CAPs exposures were associated with a rapid shallow breathing pattern, only under chronic stress. Blood measures provided evidence of inflammatory responses. Results support epidemiologic findings that chronic stress may alter respiratory response to air pollution, and may help elucidate pathways for differential susceptibility.

Confirmatory studies are needed, but further efforts are indicated to limit lead exposure from the landfill, whether through water contamination or through another mechanism. While African nations are to be lauded for the removal of lead from gasoline, this study serves as a reminder that other sources of exposure to this potent neurotoxicant merit ongoing attention.

Higher CAPs exposures were associated with a rapid shallow breathing pattern, only under chronic stress. Blood measures provided evidence of inflammatory responses. Results support epidemiologic findings that chronic stress may alter respiratory response to air pollution, and may help elucidate pathways for differential susceptibility.

Collectively, the meta-analyses suggest that residential outdoor-personal and ambient-personal PM2.5 correlations merit greater consideration when evaluating the potential for bias in studies of PM2.5-mediated health effects.

These results provide a plausible biological mechanism for the strong association between PM exposure and the increased severity of asthma.

Differences in the urinary concentrations of methyl and propyl parabens by sex and race/ethnicity likely reflect the use of personal care products containing these compounds.

Use of in vitro data from recent advances in molecular toxicology in BBDR models are not likely to remove these problems, and will introduce new issues regarding extrapolation of data from in vitro systems.

Economic activity data provide a potential surrogate marker of changes in exposure levels over time in the absence of direct monitoring data for chronic disease studies, although more research in this area is needed.
