Method: We selected 117 subjects working at a bank to have health examination in February, June, and September in 2013. The health examinations included general medical examination and cardiovascular screening. Additionally, we monitored air quality at the subjects’ workplaces over the period of health examination. We also collected information on the subjects’ home addresses and time-activity patterns to predict individualized PM2.5 and NO2 exposures at the subjects’ home addresses by land use regression models. Three exposure assessment methods were developed to represent personal exposure: (1) LUR models, (2) LUR models combine with indoor air monitoring, and (3) Nearest station. For cardiovascular markers, we used the inflammation maker (High-sensitivity CRP, hsCRP) and the markers for the arterial stiffness (baPWV and ABI) as our health endpoints. Results: With regard to the different exposure assessment methods, we found that using LUR models combining with indoor air monitoring data had a better explanation on the relationship with acute cardiovascular effects. With regard to the association between traffic-related air pollutants and cardiovascular endpoints, we found that both PM2.5 and NO2 was significantly associated with baPWV, and NO2 was significantly associated with hsCRP. However, ABI was not found to be associated with traffic-related air pollutants. Conclusion: We were able to develop land use regression models by combining air-quality monitoring data with geographic variables to predict personal exposure in Taipei Metropolis. These LUR models were applied to link with the subjects’ health data. It was found that acute cardiovascular effects were significantly associated with short-term traffic-related air pollution.Content 口試委員會審定書 I 誌謝 II 摘要 IV ABSTRACT V CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 BACKGROUND 1 1.2 LAND USE REGRESSION 3 1.3 ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS 5 1.4 THE EXPOSURE ASSIGNMENTS WITH AIR POLLUTANT LINK WITH ACUTE CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS 6 1.5 OBJECTIVE 7 CHAPTER 2 MATERIALS AND METHODS 9 2.1 STUDY DESIGN 9 2.2 STUDY AREA 10 2.3 HEALTH DATA COLLECTION 10 2.4 CONFOUNDER VARIABLES 11 2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 12 2.5.1 Indoor PM2.5 measurement 12 2.5.2 Indoor NO2 measurement 13 2.5.3 Time-activity pattern questionnaire 13 2.6 LUR MODEL BUILDING 14 2.6.1 Data analysis tools 14 2.6.2 Spatial analysis 14 2.6.3 24-hour average PM2.5 and NO2 concentration calculation 15 2.6.4 Independent variables 15 2.6.5 Model building and validation 17 2.6.6 The solution of outlier 17 2.7 EXPOSURE ASSIGNMENT 18 2.7.1 Method 1: LUR model 18 2.7.2 Method 2: LUR model + Indoor air monitoring 19 2.7.3 Method 3: Nearest station method 19 2.7.4 Lag effect 20 2.8 STATISTICS METHOD 20 CHAPTER 3 RESULTS 22 3.1 SUMMARY STATISTICS 22 3.1.1 Geographic predictors 22 3.1.2 Time-activity patterns 23 3.1.3 Regression indoor PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations 23 3.1.4 PM2.5 and NO2 concentrations 24 3.2 PM2.5 LAND USE REGRESSION MODEL IN METHOD 1 AND METHOD 2 26 3.3 NO2 LAND USE REGRESSION MODEL IN METHOD 1 AND METHOD 2 27 3.4 PM2.5 AND NO2 INDIVIDUALIZED EXPOSURE LEVELS IN DIFFERENT DESIGN OF EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT 28 3.5 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STUDY POPULATION AND THE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE MARKER 30 3.6 THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN TRAFFIC-RELATED AIR POLLUTANT AND CARDIOVASCULAR MARKERS 31 3.6.1 The effects of cardiovascular endpoints with single-pollutant model 31 3.6.2 The effects of cardiovascular endpoints with two-pollutant model 33 CHAPTER 4 DISCUSSION 36 4.1 EXPOSURE ASSIGNMENTS 36 4.1.1 Cardiovascular marker with exposure to traffic-related air pollutants in different exposure assessment methods 36 4.1.2 Sensitivity analysis 37 4.1.3 Conclusion 38 4.2 THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PM2.5 AND NO2 AND CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS 38 4.2.1 Endothelial function -
