摘要

Background: Despite calls for improved cumulative risk assessments, there are a limited empirical data to support integration of data on both chemical mixtures and non-chemical stressors available to regulators. Recently, the US EPA reduced National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for annual ambient PM2.5 from 15 to 12 ug/m3 and epidemiologic studies of the effectiveness of these standards in light of social vulnerability are needed. Aims: Study the distribution of low-level chronic air quality (PM2.5 and ozone) with poor lung function and adverse cardiovascular events (i.e., cardiopulmonary health (CPH)) in a population-based sample and examine interactions with non-chemical stressors (socio-demographic and psychosocial factors). Methods: Social and built environment determinants of CPH were measured in 2479 adults 21-74 from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin. Annual average county-level monitoring and hierarchical Bayesian estimates (36 km grid) of PM2.5 and Ozone were linked using GIS. Associations between CPH and annual air quality estimates and interactions with education, income, depression, anxiety, stress, discrimination and life events were explored while adjusting for confounders (age, gender, race/ethnicity, body-mass index or smoking status). Results: Overall, chronic air-quality exposures at levels below current standards were not associated with significant decreases in markers of CPH risk (FEV1, blood-pressure, cholesterol, leukocyte counts). The effect of PM2.5 on FEV1 (l/ug/m3)in the entire sample was not significant (-.03, p<.08). In stratified analyses, no significant effect was found among participants with greater than high school education (-.02, p<0.35) but a significant association among those with less than high school education was observed (-.08, p<.04). Conclusions: Findings underscore the potential for increased health risks to vulnerable sub-populations. Non-chemical stressors must be considered in cumulative risk assessment in order for standards to be fully protective and address persistent health disparities.
