Abstract

Traffic-related air pollution has been associated with adverse respiratory health effects using distance from roadways as an exposure index, rather than direct personal monitoring. Using personal exposure data from a cohort of inner-city children with asthma, I will test the hypothesis that exposure to particulate matter (PM) pollution from localized traffic is especially responsible for the PM-associated increased incidence of adverse acute health effects.
