Reducing AIR Pollution Exposure to Lower Blood PRESSURE Among New York City Public Housing Residents
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
Summary
Fine particulate matter \<2.5 µm (PM2.5) air pollution is the fifth leading risk factor for global mortality, with the largest portion of deaths due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). While several mechanisms are responsible, PM2.5-induced elevations in blood pressure (BP) may be relevant. Indoor portable air cleaners (PACs) are a novel approach to reduce exposure to PM2.5 and potentially lower blood pressure. The current study is being conducted to provide evidence that PACs reduce PM2.5 exposure and lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) in key patient populations.
