Aditi,
Statement is attributable to Dr. Wayne Cascio, Director of EPA's National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory.
Extensive scientific evidence shows that breathing in outdoor air particle pollution (fine particulate matter, PM2.5) over the course of many years can lead to an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and dying from the disease. Short-term exposures to PM2.5 can trigger heart attack, ischemic stroke, abnormal heart rhythms and worsen heart failure in individuals with cardiovascular disease or older adults with medical conditions that put them at risk. The near-road environment also appears to affect heart and blood vessel function.
The study conducted in Great Britain by Dr. Nay Aung and colleagues in the journal Circulation supports an observation made in a large clinical research study called MESA Air carried out in the US and funded by the EPA and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute that long-term exposure to the near road environment appears to affect the structure of the heart.
The current National Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM2.5 that protect public health from the detrimental effects of the air pollutant are based on this evidence. The EPA also provides guidance to communities to protect their residents from pollutants and noise produced in the near road environment.

Hi,
I'm actually at ABC News in New York. The headquarters. I work with all affiliate stations. This is a digital piece going out. Once we get our quote we can push it.
We don't need a comment on the study just what thoughts are on air pollution and cardiac disease.

My name is Aditi Vyas and I'm a physician in the medical unit at ABC News and was wondering if I could speak to an expert on air pollution regarding a broad statement on air pollution and how it relates to cardiovascular health.
I spoke to Ms. Zito's office in San Francisco and was directed to email at this address. Thank you so much.
