Air pollution and heart/lung health across income and diet
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how different levels of outdoor air pollution may affect heart and lung health, and how a person’s socioeconomic situation and nutrition might change the risk. You may be asked to do health checks and help the team understand your usual diet and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows healthy adults over decades to understand how lung and heart function naturally change with age. Researchers will measure your breathing and heart health to help them spot early warning signs of disease in future patients.
This study looks at whether using HEPA air filters and monitoring indoor air can improve heart-related health and blood sugar/metabolic health in older adults. You may be eligible if you live in Los Angeles County, don’t smoke, and meet the health and home requirements.
This study looks at how much people with long-term lung diseases know about climate change, heat waves, air pollution, and physical activity. It will help doctors understand how these factors affect your health and how to better support you.
This study follows adults who took part in an earlier GEOHEALTH study and live in homes that use traditional stoves, with low-to-moderate arsenic exposure in drinking water. It aims to understand how these environmental factors affect health, and what changes might be possible.
This study follows people with moderate-to-severe asthma and repeatedly checks how their lungs and symptoms relate to environmental exposures over time. It may help researchers better understand what triggers asthma and how exposures affect asthma control.
This study tests ways to improve air quality inside homes located near heavy traffic. Researchers want to see if cleaner indoor air helps people with heart disease risk factors feel better and stay healthier.
