Excerpt
Excerpt: Prospective epidemiological studies are needed to extend the knowledge gained from previous studies that identified an increased risk of cardiopulmonary and cardiovascular mortality and hospitalizations in older individuals, as well as decreased development of lung function among school-aged children. The EPA is soliciting proposals to recruit a new adult cohort for a multisite, prospective, population-based observational study of adults designed to determine the long-term effects of particulate matter constituents and copollutants on the natural history of cardiovascular disease, including indicators of subclinical disease, clinical disease incidence, mortality, and the assessment of physiological parameters indicative of the progression of disease.
