Air pollution and heart/lung health across income and diet
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 looks at how lungs and hearts work in healthy veterans over time. If you have no major health conditions, you may help researchers learn how these organs age naturally.
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 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 whether using air purifiers can improve health by reducing pollution from nearby traffic. Participants will receive air purifiers for their homes and answer questions about their health.
This study follows young adults to learn about lung health and risk factors. It may help researchers better understand how breathing symptoms and exposures affect future lung outcomes.
