Short Term PM Health Effects

A newly-published study by the Harvard School of Public Health and other major institutions points to a relationship between short-term particulate matter concentrations and the triggering of myocardial infarction. The study was conducted in the greater Boston area between January 1995 and May 1996, and was published in Circulation, a publication of the American Heart Association.

The hourly PM-2.5 and PM-10 measurements used in the study were generated by the TEOM Series 1400a Ambient Particulate Monitor manufactured by R&P. Click here for a related story concerning the quality of hourly mass concentration values generated by the TEOM monitor.
