"Cardiovascular Health effects of Air pollution in Andhra Pradesh, India" (CHAI)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2015, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
"While there is convincing evidence that exposure to particulate air pollution causes cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, nearly all of this evidence is based on populations in high-income countries where concentrations are relatively low. There is large uncertainty regarding the relationship between combustion particles and cardiovascular risk for concentrations higher than outdoor concentrat ...

BRain dEvelopment and Air polluTion ultrafine particles in scHool childrEn (BREATHE)
Date du début: 1 août 2011, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
"Traffic-related air pollution is an important environmental problem that may affect neurodevelopment. Ultrafine particles (UFP) translocate to the brains of experimental animals resulting in local proinflammatory overexpression. As the basic elements for thinking are acquired by developing brains during infancy and childhood, susceptibility may be elevated in early life.We postulate that traffic- ...

Positive health effects of the natural outdoor environment in typical populations in different regions in Europe (PHENOTYPE) (PHENOTYPE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Indications exist that close contact with nature brings benefits to human health and well-being. The proposed work will investigate the interconnections between exposure to natural outdoor environments, in both rural and urban settings, and better human health and well-being in the North West, South and East of Europe. The project will explore the underlying mechanisms at work (stress reduction/re ...

Cardiovascular Risk from Exposure to Low-dose and Low-dose-rate Ionizing Radiation (PROCARDIO)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2015,
Epidemiological evidence has established a link between cardiovascular disease and exposure of the heart and major vessels to doses above 500mGy. At lower doses the evidence for a detrimental effect is inconclusive. In part, this is due to the lack of appropriate epidemiological studies, coupled with lack of knowledge of the processes involved that is needed for construction of mathematical models ...
