Coarse Particulate Matter (PM _2.5–10 ) Affects Heart Rate Variability, Blood Lipids, and Circulating Eosinophils in Adults with Asthma

Abstract

These data suggest that small temporal increases in ambient coarse PM are sufficient to affect important cardiopulmonary and lipid parameters in adults with asthma. Coarse PM may have underappreciated health effects in susceptible populations.
