Cover Story: MobiliSense sensor-based study among 273 participants in the Grand Paris region used personal monitors to assess exposure to particles [black carbon and particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5)] and gaseous pollutants [ozone (O3), nitrogen monoxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)]. Participants measured their blood pressure (BP) at rest in the mornings and evenings for 3 days. Results from the quantile G-computation models suggest that a quantile increase in the mixture of air pollutants (PM2.5, NO2, NO, CO, and O3) over the day did not affect changes in systolic BP and diastolic BP from morning to evening. However, when shorter exposure windows were considered (from a few minutes to a few hours), both NO and the mixture showed positive associations with the morning-to-evening diastolic BP change. View this paper
