Official Title: Reducing AIR Pollution Exposure to Lower Blood PRESSURE Among New York City Public Housing Residents
Brief Summary:
Fine particulate matter <2.5 µm (PM2.5)air pollution is the fifth leading risk factor for global mortality, with the largest portion of deaths due to cardiovascular disease (CVD).While several mechanisms are responsible, PM2.5-induced elevations in blood pressure (BP) may be relevant.Indoor portable air cleaners (PACs) are a novel approach to reduce exposure to PM2.5 and potentially lower blood pressure.The current study is being conducted to provide evidence that PACs reduce PM2.5 exposure and lower systolic…
