ABSTRACT
Objective To estimate the effect of ambient air pollution on cardiovascular related blood indicators in occupational,highly-exposed population in Beijing. Methods The blood samples were collected for twice from 14 taxi drivers in spring(15-16 April) and autumn(17 September) of 2008,respectively. The air pollution index before the sampling days was also collected for three months in each season. Results Ambient air quality was better in autumn than spring of 2008. The level of plasma viscosity was lower and levels of low-/high-density lipoproteins were higher in autumn compared with those of taxi drivers in spring. Conclusion Air pollution is positively associated with plasma viscosity and negatively associated with low-/high-density lipoproteins in occupational,highly-exposed individuals.
