An Air Filter Intervention Study of Endothelial Function among Healthy Adults in a Woodsmoke-impacted Community

Abstract

Air filtration was associated with improved endothelial function and decreased concentrations of inflammatory biomarkers but not markers of oxidative stress. Our results support the hypothesis that systemic inflammation and impaired endothelial function, both predictors of cardiovascular morbidity, can be favorably influenced by reducing indoor particle concentrations.
