Room: BA1180
Atmospheric Particulate Matter, Oxidative Stress and Health Effects

Abstract: The Southeastern Center for Air Pollution and Epidemiology
(SCAPE) was developed through funding by the US EPA Clean Air Research
Centers and involved a collaboration between the Emory School of Public
Health and Georgia Institute of Technology. The aim of the Center was to
better understand air pollution health effects by focusing on air
pollution mixtures. One aspect of SCAPE for characterizing and assessing
health effects of mixtures was the development of new automated methods
for measuring aerosol oxidative potential (OP), an integrative and
potentially physiologically relevant aerosol parameter. In this study,
sources and atmospheric processes that contributed to OP were determined.
The measures of OP were then merged with the large existing Atlanta
historical air quality and health data sets to test associations with
various health endpoints through large population epidemiological studies,
and results compared to associations found for traditional air quality
parameters. This talk will present the OP findings from SCAPE and assess
the potential value of these relatively new measures of aerosol toxicity.
