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.
