Air Pollutants and Cardiovascular Risk: Investigating Thresholds with Pooled Cohorts and Electronic Health Records

Description: Project Narrative Air pollution contributes to the development of heart disease, but questions remain about the nature of this relationship—especially at the lower concentrations now experienced in the United States. Better understanding will help in the development of cost-effective policies to protect public health and reduce health inequality. The proposed research will address these questions and compare the results using two sources: 1) established epidemiological cohorts and 2) electronic health records.
