Abstract | |||
"""This study within the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study cohort participants in California will combine the substantial regional variation in particulate matter (PM) concentrations with large numbers of cancers and both smoking and residential histories. Supplemental ambient monitoring will inform historical exposure estimation of multiple ambient outdoor air pollutants, specifically ultrafine particulate matter (UFP). We aim to develop a retrospective UFP exposure assessment for southern California and assess the association between UFP and cancer risk among cohort participants. Results from the proposed study will improve our understanding of the role of ambient outdoor UFP exposure on lung cancer risk.""" |
