Table 2 Studies of PM oxidative potential and cardiorespiratory morbidity

Tonne et al. 2012 (33)^a

Prospective Cohort, London, United Kingdom (2002–2004)

2347 Adults Mean Age: 61 years

Predicted weekly average PM₁₀ and PM₁₀ Oxidative Potential (PM₁₀*OP) at the center of each participants’ postal code of residence using a geostatistical spatial-temporal model

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness

Change Per 1.5/m³ PM₁₀*OP 1.2% (95% CI: 0.2, 2.2)

Strak et al. 2012 (34)^b

Panel Study (Repeated Measures) Utrecht, Netherlands

31 Adults Mean Age: 22 years

5-hour exposure to PM₁₀ oxidative potential at five different locations

FE_NO FVC

Effect estimates for FE_NO ranged from −0.45% to 0.11% per 38.71 change in PM₁₀*OP depending on the co-pollutant included in the model

Effect estimate for FVC ranged from −0.01% to 0.05% per 38.71 change in PM₁₀*OP depending on the co-pollutant included in the model
