After careful review of the current proposals and evaluating the growing body of medical evidence, especially in the last three years, a clear consensus was reached. We have released a no dissention supermajority opinion on August 2, 2010. The signed petition states the following. We are opposed to the currently proposed biomass power plants based on the grounds that these facilities pose unacceptable health risks. The attached petition has been signed by the active medical staff. Our concerns have been forwarded to the Mason County Commissioners as well as the Washington State Medical Ass. and the Washington Osteopathic Medical .' Association. This follows similar action taken b y the Massachusetts Society, the Florida Medical Society, and the Oregon State Medical Society. 'al Medical science is, of course, continuously being updated and new research has revealed that current regulations and permitting systems may not be adequate to protect the community health.

Kaufman, MD, MPH; on behalf of the American Heart Association Council on Epidemiology and Prevention, Council on the Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease, and Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism Abstract—In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on "Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Disease" concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In the interim, numerous studies have expanded our understanding of this association and further elucidated the physiological and molecular mechanisms involved. The main objective of this updated American Heart Association scientific statement is to provide a comprehensive review of the new evidence linking PM exposure with cardiovascular disease, with a specific focus on highlighting the clinical implications for researchers and healthcare providers. The writing group also sought to provide expert consensus opinions on many aspects of the current state of science and updated suggestions for areas of future research. On the basis of the findings of this review, several new conclusions were reached, including the following: Exposure to PM <2.5 pm in diameter (PM2.5) over a few hours to weeks can trigger cardiovascular disease–related mortality and nonfatal events; longer-term exposure (eg, a few years) increases the risk for cardiovascular mortality to an even greater extent than exposures over a few days and reduces life expectancy >� within more highly exposed segments of the population by several months to a few years; reductions in PM levels are associated with decreases in cardiovascular mortality within a time frame as short as a few years; and many credible pathological mechanisms have been elucidated that lend biological plausibility to these findings. It is the opinion of the writing group that the overall evidence is consistent with a causal relationship between PM2.5 exposure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This body of evidence has grown and been strengthened substantially since the first American Heart Association scientific statement was published. Finally, PM2 5 exposure is deemed a modifiable factor that contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. (Circulation. 2010;121:2331-2378.)

There was also an explicit aim to educate clinicians about the importance of this issue, because the cardiovascular health consequences of air pollution generally equal or exceed those due to pulmonary diseases.' -4 Finally, a list of key remaining scientific questions and strategic avenues for investigation were provided to help foster and guide future research. The first AHA writing group concluded that short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution contributes to acute cardiovascular morbidity and mortality' and that exposure to elevated PM levels over the long term can reduce life expectancy by a few years. Although some mechanistic details remained incompletely described, the existing science was deemed adequate to substantiate several plausible bio- logical pathways whereby PM could instigate acute cardio- vascular events and promote chronic disease. There is mounting evidence from a rapid growth of published data since the previous statement related to the harmful cardiovascular effects of air pollution .3.4 Most, but not all, epidemiological studies corroborate the elevated risk for cardiovascular events associated with exposure to fine PM <2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter (PM,,). PMZ 5 generally has been associated with increased risks of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, arrhythmia, and heart failure exacer- bation within hours to days of exposure in susceptible individuals. Several new studies have also demonstrated that residing in locations with higher long-term average PM levels elevates the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Some recent evidence also implicates other size fractions, such as ultrafine particles (UFPs) <0.1 µm, gaseous copol- lutants (eg, ozone and nitrogen oxides [NO,]), and specific sources of pollution (eg, traffic). In addition, there have been many insights into the mechanisms whereby PM could prove capable of promoting CVDs.2-4 Air pollutants have been linked with endothelial dysfunction and vasoconstriction, increased blood pressure (BP), prothrombotic and coagulant changes, systemic inflammatory and oxidative stress re- sponses, autonomic imbalance and arrhythmias, and the progression of atherosclerosis. In the interim, the US Envi- ronmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed its updated "Air Quality Criteria for Particulate Matter"5 and afterward strengthened the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for daily PM2 5 levels starting in 2006 (down from 65 to 35 µg/m).6 The most recent scientific review coordi- nated by the EPA, the final report of the Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter (http://cfpub.epi.gov/ncea/ cfm/recordisplay.cfm?deid=216546), has also been made available publicly. These numerous changes and advances provide the rationale for the present updated AHA scientific statement on PM air pollution and CVD. This updated statement is similar in scope, content, and overall structure to the fust document; however, it provides many additional conclusions and recommendations that can now be made because of the expanded number and quality of studies. Objectives and Methods The primary objective of this scientific statement is to provide a comprehensive updated evaluation of the evidence linking PM exposure with CVDs. The focus of this review is explicitly on PM because the majority of air pollution studies have centered on its cardiovascular effects, and the strength of the evidence makes it possible to provide consensus opinions and recommendations. Except for in a few circum- stances, such as when copollutants have been shown to (or not to) modify the responses to PM exposure or to have independent cardiovascular effects in epidemiological studies of major importance, a detailed discussion of other air pollutants (eg, ozone and NO2) is beyond the scope of this document. Additional objectives are to provide expert con- sensus opinions on aspects related to the current state of science, to specifically highlight the health and clinical implications of the reviewed findings, and to provide prudent and practical recommendations for measures to reduce PM exposure that might thereby lower the associated cardiovas- cular risk. This updated scientific statement is structured to first provide a clinical perspective on the cardiovascular risks posed by PM exposure and then briefly review the compo- nents of air pollution. The following sections highlight the major findings from epidemiological studies, including mor- tality, morbidity, and surrogate outcome results. Next, the animal and human mechanistic studies are reviewed, ,and an overall framework whereby PM exposure could cause CVDs is outlined. Finally, updated consensus opinions and conclu- sions are provided, followed by suggestions for areas of future research and policy considerations. Members of the current writing group were selected from across a broad range of disciplines, including cardiovascular and environmental epidemiology and statistics, atmospheric sciences, cardiovascular and pulmonary medicine, basic sci- ence research, and public policy. The writing group identified studies published in the English language between January 1, 2004, and March 31, 2009, by a World Wide Web -based literature search using Medline, PubMed, and Google search engines. Key terms included air pollution or particulate matter plus any of the following: cardiovascular, myocardial, heart, cardiac, stroke, heart failure, arrhythmia, heart rate variability, autonomic, sympathetic, atherosclerosis, vascu- lar, blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, metabolic, throm- bosis, and coagulation. Additional studies were identified within the references of these publications and by the per- sonal knowledge of the writing group members. A few studies published after March 31, 2009, were added (luring the review process. All of the identified epidemiological studies that provided mortality data or hard cardiovascular outcomes (eg, MIs) and controlled human exposure protocols were included. In a few circumstances, studies before 2004 were included briefly in the discussion or tables when it was believed that they provided contextual background and/or relevant findings from earlier analyses of ongoing studies (eg, Harvard Six Cities and American Cancer Society [ACS] cohorts) from which new results after 2004 have been published. It is a limitation of the present review that it was not possible to cite all surrogate outcome human studies because of the enormous number of publications. Some were not included, without intentional bias with regard to results, when multiple referenced studies demonstrated similar find- ings. In such a situation (eg, heart rate variability WV]), this Downloaded from eirc.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 is • r� �.J • • Brook et al limitation was noted within the specific section A main theme of the present statement is to provide clinical context and recommendations for healthcare providers, and thus, it was beyond the scope and not the intent of this document to include all animal, ex vivo, or toxicological studies. A number of these publications were also not included, without intentional bias with regard to results. The writing group included publications that were believed to have relevant implications for human cardiovascular health, those that formed the foundation of the mechanistic hypotheses, and studies that were deemed of major importance. Finally, the "evidence summary" statements and all points in the conclu- sions and recommendations represent consensus expert opin- ions agreed on by all members of the writing group during formal discussions. It is explicitly stated when no such agreement was reached. These statements and the points within Tables 6 and 7 do not represent the result of applying the standard AHA criteria (ie, level and class) to the sum findings of the present review, because those do not apply, but rather the qualitative consensus opinions agreed on by the writing group. The purpose is to provide expert opinions on the comparative relative ranking and the strength of the overall evidence regarding different areas within this field of science. Perspective on the Air Pollution— Cardiovascular Risk Association Traditional cardiovascular risk factors account for the major portion of the risk for ischemic cardiac events within a population .7 Individuals with optimal levels of all risk factors have been shown to have a low lifetime cardiovascular event rate." Thus, control of the traditional risk factors is recognized to be of paramount importance to prevent CVDs. In this context, there has been some debate about the overall clinical relevance and utility of adding novel risk factors to risk - prediction models to incrementally improve their overall predictive value, even when assessed by multiple methodol- ogies.9 On the other hand, the ability to predict future events by existing models remains imperfect. In addition to several mathematical and statistical explanations for this shortcom- ing,10.11 it is important to recognize that the development of vascular or atherosclerotic disease (the factor predicted by most statistical models) is usually a necessary but insufficient cause of future ischemic events in and of itself. Cardiovas- cular events must also be triggered by an additional factor at some unknowable future time, and therefore, they transpire as a stochastic process within a population.12 This is one of several reasons why PM air pollution is a uniquely important public health issue among the list of novel risk factors; PM inhalation is an established trigger of cardiovascular events that occur within hours to days after exposure. 12 Because of the ubiquitous and involuntary nature of PM exposure, it may continuously enhance acute cardiovascular risk among mil- lions of susceptible people worldwide in an often inconspic- uous manner. Moreover, beyond serving as a simple trigger, PM elicits numerous adverse biological responses (eg, sys- temic inflammation) that, in premise, may further augment Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2333 future cardiovascular risk over the long term after months to years of exposure. Effects of Short -Term Exposure Time -series studies estimate that a 10-1Lg/m3 increase in mean 24-hour PM2 5 concentration increases the relative risk (RR) for daily cardiovascular mortality by approximately 0.4% to 1.0%.3 Despite theoretical statistical risks ascribed to all individuals, this elevated risk from exposure is not equally distributed within a population. At present-day levels, PM2.1 likely poses an acute threat principally to susceptible people, even if seemingly healthy, such as the elderly and those with (unrecognized) existing coronary artery or structural heart disease. 13 Therefore, the absolute risk rather than the RR of exposure may more effectively convey the tangible health burden within a population. A 10-11g/m3 increase during the preceding day contributes on average to the premature death of approximately 1 susceptible person per day in a region of 5 million people (based on annual US death rates in 2005).3•14 Although the dangers to 1 individual at any single time point may be small, the public health burden derived from this ubiquitous risk is enormous. Short-term increases in PM2., levels lead to the early mortality of tens of thousands of individuals per year in the United States alone.1.3.5 Effects of Long -Term Exposure Cohort studies estimate that the RR associated with living in areas with higher PM levels over the long term is of greater magnitude than that observed from short-term exposure increases (RR between 1.06 and 1.76 per 10 gg/m3 PM2 5).3 In this context, the World Health Organization estimated that PM2.5 contributes to approximately 800 000 premature deaths per year, ranking it as the 13th leading cause of worldwide mortality. 15 Hence, PM air pollution appears to be an impor- tant modifiable factor that affects the public health on a global scale. Air Pollution The fust AHA statement on air pollution reviewed the size fractions, sources, and chemical constituents of PM and the main gaseous air pollutants: Nitrogen oxides (NO.; ie, NO+NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (03).1 Therefore, this section within the updated statement focuses on several other contemporary aspects of air pollution characterization and exposure assessment, par- ticularly in relation to their potential influences on cardiovas- cular health. In brief, PM is broadly categorized by aerody- namic diameter: All particles <10 gm (thoracic particles [PM1o1), all particles <2.5 gm (fine particles [PM251), all particles <0.1 gm (UFP), and particles between 2.5 and 10 gm (coarse particles [PM10-2.51)• Hence, PM10 contains within it the coarse and PM2.5 fractions, and PM2.5 includes UFP particles. The concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 are typically measured in their mass per volume of air (gg/m), whereas UFPs are often measured by their number per cubic centimeter (Table 1).

Biomass burning, heating, cooking, indoor activities, and nonhuman sources (eg, fires) may also be relevant sources, particularly in certain regions. Common air pollutants and those designated as EPA criteria pollutants (ie, specifically targeted in regulations through limits on emissions or government standards such as the NAAQS) are listed in Table 1. The World Health Organization also provides ambient guidelines (http://www. euro.who.int/Document/E90038.pdf). As a result, many pol- lutant concentrations are tracked in the United States by nationwide monitoring networks, with up to approximately 1200 sites for 03 and PM2 5. Data are archived by the EPA and are available to the public (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/airs/ airsags/). 03 levels exceed the national standard in many areas, and thus, daily information is provided to assist the public in reducing their exposure. A lower standard for ozone concen- trations was proposed recently, which will lead to more fi-equent occurrences of outdoor exposures deemed to be excessive (Table 1). The reporting of PM2.5 is also becoming common because of its impact on public health and frequent violations of standards. Current and forecast air quality indices and information on both PM2 5 and ozone are available (httpJ/aimow.gov/). At the end of 2008, 211 US counties (or portions of counties) were in nonattainment of the 2006 daily PM2.5 NAAQS (http://www. epa.gov/pmdesignations/2006standards/state.htm). On a positive note, the various regulations that have been established have led to substantial reductions in PM and other pollutant levels over the past 40 years in the United States and contributed toward similar improvements in other countries. However, reducing the levels of some pollutants, such as 03, remains a challenge because of the complex chemical processes that lead to their formation in the atmosphere.16 The population of many devel- oping nations (China, India, Middle Eastern countries) continues to be exposed to high levels, particularly of PM, which can routinely exceed 100 pg/m3 for prolonged periods (httpJ/ siteresources.worldbank.org/DATASTATISTICS/Rescources/ table 3_13.pdf). Air Pollution Mixtures, Chemistry, and Sources Detailed information regarding PM sizes, composition, chem- istry, sources, and atmospheric interactions is beyond the scope of this document but can be found in the 2004 US EPA Air Quality Cnteria for Particulate Matter final report (http:// cfpub.epa.gov/neea/cfm/recordisplay.cfm?deid=87903). The source for much of the information provided in this brief summary is this document, unless otherwise specifically referenced. The typical range of ambient concentrations for several air pollutants in the United States, including the latest US NAAQS for the criteria pollutants, is given in Table 1. Classification of air quality according to 1 single pollutant and by size or mass provides an incomplete picture, because ambient air pollution is a complex mixture of gases, particles, and liquids that are continually changing and interacting with each other and natural atmospheric gases. Although PM2 5 mass has rightfully attracted considerable attention as a target for regulation and epidemiological study, more than 913% of Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 C • • • • U Brook et al the air pollutant mass in the mixture we breathe in urban settings is from gases or vapor -phase compounds such as CO, nonmethane hydrocarbons or volatile organic carbons (VOCs), NO2, NO, 03, and SO2. Each of these can have independent and potentially synergistic or antagonistic effects with each other and with PM; however, at present, the cardiovascular health impact of exposure to combinations of air pollutants is not well understood. Most of the studies linking CVDs with PM exposures have focused on particle mass; thus, this association is evaluated and reported in the majority of epidemiological and toxico- logical studies reviewed. Although PM is regulated by mass concentration, the aspect of PM most harmful to cardiovas- cular health may not be best quantified by mass measurement alone. The sum effect of many features related to chemical composition and size/morphology (eg, oxidative stress poten- tial, solubility, charge, surface area, particle count, lung deposition, and stability within the atmosphere and biological tissues) is important to consider. With regard to specific "toxic" compounds within PM, several lines of existing evidence support the idea that transition metals, organic compounds, semiquinones, and endotoxin are likely relevant in relation to promoting CVDs. In addition, certain charac- teristics of UFPs (eg, high surface area, particle number, metal and organic carbon content) suggest that they may pose a particularly high cardiovascular risk after short-term expo- sure.17 Both the additional characterization of "criteria" pollutants and the measurement of several other pollutants (discussed below) are important to inform air quality man- agement practices that involve air quality modeling, as well as epidemiological studies and risk assessment, which ulti- mately aim to improve risk -reduction strategies. In addition to their mass concentration, pollutants can be characterized on the basis of their origin or chemical and physical properties. In terms of origin, nitrogen oxides (NO+NO2), CO, SO2, and PM2_5, as well as carbon dioxide (CO2), are mainly associated with combustion of fuel or other high-temperature industrial processes. Combustion PM is composed of many chemical compounds, including organic carbon species, elemental or black carbon, and trace metals (eg, lead and arsenic). They range in size from molecular clusters a few nanometers in diameter to light -scattering particles that peak on a mass contribution basis in the diameter range of 200 to 1000 nm (0.2 to 1 µm). UFP numbers are also strongly linked to fresh combustion and traffic -related pollution. Ammonia, methane, pesticides (per- sistent organic pollutants), reduced sulfur compounds, resus- pended dust, and natural coarse particles (PM10-2 5) are associated with noncombustion surface or fugitive releases that arise from a variety of human (eg, agriculture) and natural (eg, erosion) activities. Agricultural emissions and releases from a range of industrial processes and waste management are also important sources. Road and wind- blown dust from agricultural practices and from certain industrial facilities (eg, mineral industry) also contribute to these particles, which are typically in the coarse (PM,, -2 5) or even larger (>PM,o) range. In addition to pollutants formed directly by combustion, many others are produced primarily through chemical reac- Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2335 tions in the atmosphere among directly emitted pollutants. These are known as secondary pollutants. Sunlight, water vapor, and clouds are often involved in this atmospheric chemistry, which leads to greater oxidation of the pollutants. Examples include PM -associated sulfate, nitrate, and ammo- nium and many of the organic compounds within PM2.5- Besides 03, which is the most prevalent secondary gaseous oxidant, a number of inorganic and organic acids and VOCs form in the atmosphere. Examples are the hydroxyl radical, peroxyacetyl nitrate, nitric acid, formic and acetic acid, formaldehyde, and acrolein. VOCs and semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs), the latter of which are found in both the gas and particle phase, are an additional large class of pollutants. They are associated with both combustion and fugitive emissions, as well as with second- ary formation. Key examples are benzene, toluene, xylene, 1,3 -butadiene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. VOCs are among the 188 hazardous air pollutants listed by the EPA, and their main emission sources have been identified and are regulated (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/mactfnlalph.html). VOCs can undergo reactions that convert toxic substances to less toxic products or vice versa. Many VOCs contribute to the formation of 03 and are oxidized in the atmosphere, becoming SVOCs, and subsequently partition within particles and contribute to the composition of PM2 5, as well as to its mass. A great deal of research has focused on PM2 5 in the past decade, which has led to advances in measurement technologiesl$ and greater understanding of its chemistry and atmospheric behavior.19 Nonetheless, understanding is in- complete, particularly with regard to formation of the sec- ondary organic fraction, the relative role of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions to organics, surface chemistry, oxi- dative potential,20 and gas -to -particle partitioning. An alternative to attempting to identify one by one which pollutant(s) or chemical compounds are most harmful is to focus on identifying the sources, which typically emit mix- tures of pollutants, of greatest concern. It may be the mixture of pollutants (along with the source from which it is derived, which determines its characteristics) that is most pertinent to human health outcomes. Such information may actually be more relevant for aiding the development of effective air quality policies. One important example reviewed in the epidemiology section is that the evidence continues to grow regarding the harmful cardiovascular effects of traffic -related pollution. Traffic is ubiquitous in modem society, with a sizeable proportion of the population, particularly persons disadvantaged by low socioeconomic status, living close enough (within 500 m) to a major road or a freeway to be chronically exposed to elevated concentrations. Additionally, daily behavior brings most people close to this source, with the average US citizen over 15 years of age spending 55 minutes each day traveling in motor vehicles.21 However, despite the consistent epidemiological findings, these studies have yet to elucidate which of the many pollutants or other associated risks (ie, noise) produced by traffic are responsible for the increase in risk for CVD. Until the most harmful agents are identified, the only practical manner to potentially reduce health consequences would be to reduce overall traffic and related emissions and to configure cities and lifestyles Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2336 Circulation June 1, 2010 such that there is greater separation between the people and the source, so that we could spend less time in traffic (a major source of personal exposures in our society). There are also a myriad of other important pollutant sources of known toxic pollutants that have been implicated in health -effect studies (eg, power generation, industrial sources, steel mills, and wood smoke). A better understanding of the factors that influence population exposure to these sources, of how their emissions and mixtures of different sources affect health, and about the factors that make individuals more susceptible will aid in the development of more effective environmental health policies. Determinants of Air Pollution Exposure Many aspects of air pollution play a role in the characteristics of population- and individual -level exposures. Pollutants vary on multiple time scales, with emission rates, weather patterns, and diurnal/seasonal cycles in solar radiation and temperature having the greatest impact on concentrations. The temporal behavior of a pollutant is also governed by its formation rate and the length of time it remains in the atmosphere. As such, the concentrations of many air pollutants tend to co -vary. For example, NO., and CO are emitted during combustion, as are some particle constituents (eg, elemental carbon) and VOCs, and thus, their concentrations peak during rush hour. On the other hand, 03 and other photochemical oxidants, including secondary PM2 5 and secondary VOCs, peak in the afternoon, particularly given certain meteorologic conditions (eg, more sunshine). Among the common air pollutants, O_; and PM2.5 have the longest atmospheric lifetime and thus can build up over multiple days and spread, by the prevailing winds, over large geographic regions. This can lead to similarities in their temporal and spatial patterns over broad regions and to greater numbers of people being exposed to similar levels, thus lessening interindividual variability in exposure Periods of suppressed horizontal and vertical mixing in the lower atmosphere lead to the buildup of multiple pollutants. These situations are most common under slow-moving or stationary high-pressure systems, which bring light winds, a stable atmosphere, and more sunshine. The frequency and seasonality of these meteorologic conditions and how they affect concentrations vary geographically, which leads to differences in the characteristics of pollution episodes from the western to the eastern United States, as well as within these regions. The commonality of meteorology and emission sources leads to covariation in pollutant concentrations on multiple temporal and spatial scales, which makes it more challenging for epidemiological studies to identify the health effects of individual pollutants and the effects of copollutants or mix- tures. Studies that depend on daily counts of mortality or morbidity events have difficulties separating the effects of the different pollutants in the urban mix. Even prospective panel studies measuring specific end points on a subdaily time scale are hindered by pollutant covariation. Some of these chal- lenges could potentially be addressed by undertaking studies covering multiple geographic locations with differences in the structure of pollutant covariation due to different meteo- rology and source mixes. Indeed, this has been done, at least in part, by several existing multicity studies. Consistency in the findings in individual studies conducted in different cities also helps isolate the pollutants that may be more responsible for the health effects. The consistent positive findings with certain pollutants (eg, PM mass concentration) have helped strengthen the evidence regarding PM,o and PM25 effects, but regardless of location, there remains the strong underlying commonality of fossil fuel combustion for many pollutants. A final issue to consider is the cardiovascular health effects of exposures that occur at the personal level because of the different microenvironments or activities an individual expe- nences (eg, time in traffic, indoor sources, secondhand tobacco smoke, occupational exposure, and degree of indoor penetration of ambient PM into homes) versus the effects of exposures from less variable urban- to regional -scale ambient concentrations (ie, background pollution that most individu- als encounter more uniformly). Personal monitoring demon- strates substantial variations among individual pollution ex- posures or characteristics among those living within the same metropolitan area and even the same neighborhood.22.23 However, the differing additive, synergistic, and/or con- founding effects on cardiovascular health of these 2 contrast- ing components of a person's overall exposure have not been well described. For the most part, the magnitude of the findings reported by the major epidemiological studies (see next section) are indicative of the effects of the urban- to regional -scale ambient concentrations. Actual exposures to all pollutants also vary at the personal level. The cardiovas- cular health importance of these individual -level variations (above and beyond the effect of urban/regional levels) re- mains largely unknown, in part because it has been difficult to quantify. The degree to which measurement of personal expo- sures or more precise exposure assessment (eg, use of geo- graphic information systems, land -use regression models, spatial -temporal models, and adjustments for indoor penetration) can reduce the effects of exposure misclassification in epidemi- ological studies also remains to be fully elucidated.24-26 Epidemiological Studies of Air Pollution Epidemiological studies of air pollution have examined the health effects of exposures observed in real-world settings at ambient levels. Associations between relevant health end points and measures of air pollution are evaluated while attempting to control for effects of other pertinent factors (eg, patient and environmental characteristics). Despite substan- tial study and statistical improvements and the relative consistency of results, some potential for residual confound- ing of variables and publication bias '27 of positive studies are limitations to acknowledge. Probably the most relevant, well-defined, and extensively studied health end points in- clude mortality (all -cause and cause -specific), hospilaliza- tions, and clinical cardiovascular events.

Even if similar acute RR elevations (-1.01) are estimated between cardiovascular and pulmonary mortality, CVDs account for 69% of the increase in absolute mortality rates compared with 28% for pulmonary diseases attributable to short -tern PM exposure. Recently, more rigorous modeling techniques have been used in attempts to better estimate pollution -mortality associations while controlling for other time -dependent con- founding covariables.29,30 There have been well over 100 published daily time -series studies reporting small but statis- tically significant PM -mortality associations that have been the subject of quantitative reviews or meta-analyses.3,27,31-33 Table 2 summarizes recent multicity analyses and studies published since 2004. To address concerns about city selection bias, publication bias, and influences of copollutants, several large, multicity, daily time -series studies have been conducted worldwide. One of the largest was the National Morbidity, Mortality, and Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS). Published reports from this study included as few as 20 US cities '44,45 as many as 100 cities,46,47 and more recently, data for hundreds of counties (Table 2).48 The observed relation- ship between PM exposure and excess mortality remained independent of several gaseous copollutants (NO2, CO, or SO2). Recent analyses suggest that 03 may also indepen- dently contribute to cardiopulmonary mortality risk49,50; however, coexposures to secondary particle pollutants may be responsible in part for this latter association.51 Several studies have also been conducted outside the United States, including the Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach (APNEA and APHEA-2) projects, which examined daily PM -related mortality effects in multiple cities.36,52 PM air pollution was significantly associated with daily mortality counts for all -cause, car- diovascular, and respiratory mortality (Table 2). Further analyses of the European data suggest that CVD deaths are also associated with exposure to NO253and CO.54 A few new time -series studies have also confirmed similar in- creases in cardiovascular mortality related to short-term PM exposure in China55-57 and Bangkok, Thailand.42 Additional multicity studies have been conducted world- wide with analyses of CVD deaths (Table 2),38-42,58-60 Finally, in a recent analysis that included several Asian Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 Primary Source Exposure Increment Percent Increases in Mortality (95% CI) All -Cause Cardiovascular Respiratory Meta-esbmate with and without Anderson et a127 2005 20 µg/m3 PM10 1.0 (0.8-1.2) ... ... adjustment for publication bias 1 2 (1.0-1.4) Meta -estimates from COMEAP COMEAP37 2006 20 PVM3 PM10 ... 1.8 (1.4-2.4) ... report to the UK Department of 10 µg/m3 PM,., 1.4 (0.7-2.2) Health on CVD and air pollution NMMAPS, 20 to 100 US cities Dominici et a134 2003 20 4m3 PM10 0 4 (0.2-0.8) 0.6 (0.3-1.0)* APHEA-2, 15 to 29 European cities Katsouyanni et a135 2003 20 µg/m3 PM10 1.2 (0.8-1.4) 1.5 (0 9-2.1) 1.2 (0.4-1.9) Analibs et a136 2006 US, 6 cities Klemm and Mason37 2003 10 µg/m3 PMIS 1.2 (0 8-1.6) 1.3 (0.3-2.4)t 0 6 (-2.9, 4.2)t US, 27 cities, case -crossover Franklin et a138 2007 10 4m3 PM2.5 1.2 (0.3-2.1) 0.9 (-.1, 2.0) 1 8(02,34) California, 9 cities Ostro et a139 2006 10 µg/m3 PM25 06(02-1.0) 0 6 (0 0,1.1) 2.2 (0.6, 3 9) France, 9 cities Le Tertre et a140 2002 20 µg/m3 BS 1.2 (0.5-1.8)§ 1.2 (0.2-2 2)§ 1.1 (-1.4, 3 2)§ Japan, 13 cities, age >65 y Omon et a141 2003 20 / ,,,,/m3 SPM 1.0 (0.8-1.3) 1 1 (0.7-1.5) 1.4 (0.9-2.1) Asia, 4 cities Wong et a142 2008 10 AWM3 PM,O 0 55 (0.26-0.85) 0.59 (0 22-0.93) 0.62 (0.16-1.04) US, 112 cities Zanobeth et a143 2009 10 MWm3 PM25 0 98 (0 75-1.22) 0 85 (0.46-1.24) 1.68 (1.04-2 33) 10 4m3 PM,a2511 0 46 (0.21-0.71) 0.32 (0 OD -0 64) 1.16 (0.43-1.89) 10 4m3 PM25¶ 0.77 (0.43-1.12) 0.61 (0.05-1.17) 1.63 (0.69-2.59) 10 µg/m3 PM'0_"l 0.47 (0.21-0 73) 0 29 (-0.04, 0.61) 1.14 (0 043-1.85) CI indicates confidence interval or posterior interval "Cardiovascular and respiratory deaths combined tischemic heart disease deaths. tChronic obstructive pulmonary disease deaths §Includes general additive model -based analyses with potentially inadequate convergence IlResults for PM10-25 are from 47 cities ¶Results of 2 pollutant models controlling for alternate PM size in 47 cities dence that exposure to air pollutants at present-day levels contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Among individuals older than 75 years, the effects were greater for cardiovascular mortality than for overall and pulmonary mortality (0.47% to 1.30%). Older age (>75 years) and higher rates of unemployment were related to greater PM mortality risks in both continents Higher NO2 levels were associated with larger PM10 effects on mortality, particularly in Europe. Finally, there appeared to be no lower -limit threshold below which PM10 was not associated with excess mortality across all regions. Evidence Summary The overall evidence from time -series analyses conducted worldwide since publication of the first AHA statement' confirms the existence of a small, yet consistent association between increased mortality and short-term elevations in PM10 and PM25 approximately equal to a 0.4% to 1.0% increase in daily mortality (and cardiovascular death specif- ically) due to a 10-µg/m3 elevation in PM2_5 during the preceding 1 to 5 days (Table 2). Cohort and Related Studies Although short-term changes in PM concentrations have deleterious health effects, longer-term exposures may have a more pertinent clinical health effect on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality given that individuals are typically exposed to higher air pollution levels over extended periods of time. An additional source of exposure variabil- ity that has been exploited in epidemiological studies is spatial variability, which includes differences in average ambient concentrations over extended periods of time across metropolitan areas or across smaller communities within local areas. Recent emphasis has been on prospec- tive cohort studies that control for individual differences in multiple confounding variables and cardiovascular risk factors. A summary of these studies is presented in Table 3 and Figure 1. These cohort studies generally demonstrate larger overall mortality effects than the results of time - series analyses. Harvard Six Cities and ACS Studies Two landmark cohort -based mortality studies, the Harvard Six Cities62 and the ACS studies,66 were reported in the mid 1990s and were discussed previously.' In both, PM2.5 and sulfate particulate pollution were associated with increases in all -cause and cardiopulmonary disease (Table 3). In addition, intensive independent reanalyses63 Corrob- orated the original findings of both studies and resulted in innovative methodological contributions that demonstrated the robustness of the results to alternative modeling approaches. In both the Harvard Six Cities62.64 and the ACS67 studies, PM air pollution -related mortality was substantially higher for cardiovascular- than for pulmo- nary -related causes. Since 2004, there have been further analyses of both studies. Laden et a164 extended the mortality follow-up of the Harvard Six Cities cohort for an additional 8 years. PM2_5 associations, similar to those found in the original analysis, were observed for all -cause and CVD mortality (Table 3). Furthermore, reductions in PM2 5 concentrations for the extended follow-up period were associated with reduced mortality risk. Further analysis suggested that the health effects of changes in exposure were seen primarily within 2 years. 114 In addition to confirming the earlier mortality relationship, the recent observations suggest that the adverse health effects mediated by longer-term I'M air pollution exposure can be estimated reasonably accurately by the previous few years of particle levels. Extended analyses of the ACS cohort that emphasize efforts to control for the effects of other covariates and risk factors have corroborated the previously reported mortality associations with particulate and sulfur oxide pollution 68 Elevated mortality risks were most strongly associated with PM, 5. Coarse particles (PMIo-2.5) and gaseous pollutants, except for SO2, were generally not significantly related to mortality. In another extended analysis,67 the death certificate classifications of underlying causes of death due to PM25 exposures were observed to be principally ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and cardiac arrest. Finally, recent additional analyses attempted to control for the fact that variations in exposure to air pollution across cities or within cities may correlate with socioeconomic or demo- graphic gradients that influence health and susceptibility to environmental exposures.85.116 When controlled for individual risk factor data, the mortality associations for intrametropoli- tan PM2 5 concentration differences within the Los Angeles, Calif, area were generally larger than those observed in the full cohort across metropolitan areas.69 However, the results were somewhat sensitive to the inclusion of zip code -level ecological variables, which suggests potential contextual neighborhood confounding. Krewski et x170 subsequently observed that full adjustments for multiple ecological covari- ates did not reduce the estimated PM2 5 -related mortality effect. The association for ischemic heart disease mortality in particular was highly robust across various study areas and modeling strategies and after controlling for both individual and ecological covariates. An additional recent analysis of the ACS cohort evaluated the health effects of ozone compared with PM2 5.87 The findings reconfirmed the independent cardiovascular mortal- ity increase related to fine -particle exposure. However, after adjustment for PM2 5, ozone was associated solely with an elevated risk of death due to respiratory causes; there was no independent risk of ozone exposure on CVD -related rnortal- ity. This suggests that the positive findings reported in NMMAPS50 regarding cardiopulmonary mortality and short- term ozone exposure could be explained at least in part by the enhanced risk of mortality due to lung disease categories.

Additional Cohort Studies Several additional cohort studies have been published in the past few years (Table 3). Eftim and colleagues65 studied 2 very large "cohorts" of US Medicare participants who lived in locations included in the Harvard Six Cities and ACS studies. Effects of PM2.5 exposure on mortality for the period 2000 to 2002 were estimated after controlling for multiple factors, although not at the individual patient level. For all -cause mortality, the PM2.57-mortality associations were larger than those observed in the Harvard Six Cities or ACS cohorts. In an additional analysis of 13.2 million US Medi- care participants for the time period 2000 to 2005,71 PM2 5 - mortality associations were shown to be similar to those observed in the Harvard Six Cities and ACS studies in the East and Central regions of the United States (and when the data were pooled for the entire United States). However, PM25 was not associated with mortality in the Western United States or for the oldest age group (>85 years old). These findings generally corroborate the earlier cohort stud- ies and add evidence that aspects of exposure (PM sources or composition) and patient susceptibility might play important roles in determining the health risks. In a cohort of postmenopausal women without prior CVD from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study,72 an association between longer-term PM2.5 exposure (median follow-up of 6 years) and cardiovascular events (primary end point) was observed. After adjustment for age and other risk factors, an incremental difference of 10 µg/m3 PM2 5 was associated with a 24% (95% confidence interval [CI]9% to 41%) increase in all first cardiovascular events (fatal and nonfatal, with a total of 1816 cases). Notably, an incremental difference of 10 µg/m3 PM2 5 was also associated with a large 76% (95% CI 25% to 147%) increase in fatal cardiovascular events, based on 261 deaths. The risks for both coronary heart disease and strokes were found to be similarly elevated. Interestingly, within -city PM2 5 gradients appeared to have larger cardiovascular effects than those between cities, al- though this difference was not statistically significant. Fi- nally, overweight women (body mass index >24.8 Ig/M2) were at relatively greater cardiovascular risk due to particu- late air pollution than leaner women. Noteworthy aspects of this study were improved assessment of the end points by medical record review (rather than by death certificate) and long-term particle exposure estimation. The control for individual -level confounding variables was also superior to that of previous cohort studies In another cohort of women, a subset of the Nurses' Health Study from the northeastern United States,73 an increase of 10 11g/m3 modeled estimates of PM,o exposures was associated with an approximately 7% to 16% increased risk of all -cause mortality and a 30% to 40% increase in fatal coronary heart disease, depending on the level of adjustment for covariates. This study found that the strongest health risks for all -cause and cardiovascular mortality were seen in association with the average PMho exposure during the previous 24 months before death. Similar to the findings of the Women's Health Initiative, the cardiovascular mortality risk estimates were larger than those of previous cohort studies. In addition, obese women (body mass index >30 kg/m2) were at greater relative risk, and the increases in mortality (all -cause and cardiovascular) were larger than the effects on nonfatal events. The results were also in accordance with the latest Harvard Six Cities analyses64 that show that exposure over the most recent preceding 1 to 2 years can accurately estimate the majority of the health risks due to longer-term PM air pollution exposures. The pollution -mortality association has also been assessed in several other cohort studies in the United States and Europe (Table 3).76-83 In a recent analysis of the Adventist Health Study of Smog (AHSMOG) cohort with a much Downloaded from eirc.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 Ll • • • 90 85 80 75 70 3 65 60 w 55 >. 50 45- 0 40 - m 35 w ea 30 25 m 20 IL 15- 10- 5- 0- -5 - -10 - Brook et al Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2341 Figure 1.

The overall cohort study evidence demonstrates that a 10- µg/m3 increase in PM2., exposure is in general positively associated with excess mortality, largely driven by increases in cardiopulmonary or cardiovascular deaths (Figure 1). Independent results from the Women's Health Initiative Study,72 the US Medicare cohorts,71 the German women cohort,80 and the intracity Oslo (Norway) study81 contribute substantially to this evidence. Although the Dutch cohort, 8'- AHSMOG,74.75 French PAARC (Pollution Atmosph6rique et Affections Respiratoires Chroniques [air pollution and chronic respiratory diseases]),79 Veterans Affairs hypertensive male study,77 and 11 CA county78 studies observed increased mortality risks associated with higher PM2 5 exposure that were statistically significant in some analyses, the observed health risks were less robust. A finding that is somewhat consistent across the Veterans Affairs hypertensive male study,77 11 CA county,78 Oslo,81 and US Medicare cohorts71 is that the PM2.5- mortality effect estimates tend to decline with longer periods of follow up or in a substantially older cohort. These studies also often observed elevated mortality risks according to alternative indicators of air pollution exposure, especially metrics of traffic - related exposure. Evidence Summary The overall evidence from the cohort studies demonstrates on average an approximate 10% increase in all -cause mortality per 10-µg/m3 elevation in long-term average PM2.5 exposure. The mortality risk specifically related to CVD appears to be elevated to a similar (or perhaps even greater) extent, ranging from 3% to 76% (Table 3). This broader estimated range in risk compared with the short-term effects observed in time series is due to several recent cohort studies72.73 that demon- strated larger cardiovascular mortality risks (eg, >30%) than in earlier cohort observations. This may reflect superior aspects of these studies that allowed for a better character- ization of the cardiovascular risk of long-term exposure, the fact that these cohorts consisted of only women, or other unclear reasons. Compared with cardiovascular mortality, there is less existing evidence to support an increase in the risk for nonfatal cardiovascular events related to PM2 5 exposure among the existing cohort studies, because many of them did not specifically investigate nonfatal outcomes, and several of the more recent studies reported nonsignificant relationships.72,73 Natural Experiment and Intervention Studies Several studies have shown improvements in health outcomes in association with exposures using well-defined natural experiments or interventions, such as abrupt reductions in air pollution89-91 or changes over a longer period of time.64,92 Downloaded from clrc.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 All Cause CPD o $ CVD IHD N N Q (C 6 � O 0 0 CD 0 is m c °D 0 ACS aD N N N D > mN N N C N O N N 111 m N N •_ U N W N N N N OO LA p m N •C m 1) /Q "m O] m m d E N C N m m .L-. y N d N Evl m O w d ' m m N N m m 7 d m ° m W 75 y S= Z OZ O Ng GO 0 mm y .� m OS 1° � m ._ m in m� 2E m 0 m y m N m U 3 Q i- r- E o m m m _ m m c m C7 ami 3 d C7 °= U y U m Q 3 3 m m U U W m m g = o s Q c N x_ U ACS °' m m L Z l m ACS u v m 2 ¢ U li Z _ m v m Q 0 E E s o y w 7 U) N Q a y 0 0 cc Q : U m LL -------- *— l — — ---- — — — — — — — — — -- Figure 1.

Comparison of Pooled Estimated of Percent Increase in Risk of Hospital Admission for CVD Estimated Across Meta -Analyses and Multicity Studies of Daily Changes in Exposure Small but statistically significant drops in mortality were associated with an 81/2 -month copper smelter strike that resulted in sharp reductions in sulfate PM and related air pollutants across 4 Southwest states, even after controlling for other factors.93 Data from US Medicare enrollment files were used to estimate the association between changes in monthly mortality rates for US counties and average PM2 5 concentra- tions for the previous 12 months.94 PM25-mortality associa- tions were observed at the national scale but not the local scale, which raises concerns about possible staistical con- founding due to unmeasured individual and ecological vari- ables as a cause for any positive findings in this study. However, a recent large study found that reductions in PM air pollution exposure on a local scale (across US counties) over a 2 -decade period (1980s and 1990s) were associated with increased life expectancy even after controlling for changes in socioeconomic, demographic, and proxy smoking vari- ables.95 Indeed, a decrease of 10 µg/m3 in the long-term PM2.5 concentration was related to an increase in mean life expectancy of 0.61±0.20 years. Hospitalization Rates There are many daily time -series or case -crossover studies that have evaluated associations between cardiovascular hos- pitalizations and short-term changes in air pollution. Because of the great number of publications, all studies (particularly those focusing on nonparticulate air pollutants) cannot be discussed individually. Nevertheless, Table 4 presents a comparison of pooled estimates of percent increase in RR of hospital admission for general cardiac conditions across a previous meta-analysis of 51 published estimates (COMEAP [Committee on the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants]) and results from many selected multicity studies published after 2004. Several studies before 2004 are included in Table 4 only to demonstrate the consistency of effect. Because of its comparatively large size and importance, the results of a recent analysis of Medicare files in 204 US urban counties with 11.5 million individuals older than 65 years merit discussion. Daily changes in PM2_5 levels were associ- ated with a variety of cardiovascular hospital admission subtypes.103 A 10-1kg/m3 increase in PM2.5 exposure was related to increases in hospitalizations for cerebrovascular disease by 0.81% (95% Cl 0.3% to 1.32%), peripheral vascular disease by 0.86% (95% Cl -0.06% to 179%) , ischemic heart disease by 0.44% (95% Cl 0.02% to 0 86%), arrhythmias by 0.57% (95% CI -0.01% to 1.15%), and heart failure by 1.28 (95% CI 0.78% to 1.78%). The moss rapid effects, which occurred largely on the same day of PM2 5 elevation, were seen for cerebrovascular, arrhythmia, and heart failure admissions. Ischemic heart disease events tended to increase to a greater extent 2 days after exposures. A consistent finding was that the cardiovascular effects of pollution were much stronger in the Northeast than in other regions. In fact, there were few significant associations in Western US regions. It was speculated that these differences reflected variations in particle composition (eg, greater sul- fate in the East and nitrate components in the West) and pollution sources (eg, power generation in the East and transportation sources in the West). In a follow-up analysis by Peng et al,104 PM10_25 levels were not statistically associated with cardiovascular hospitalizations after adjustment for PM2.,. This suggests that the smaller particles (ie, PM2,) are principally responsible for the cardiovascular hospitalizations attributed in prior studies to the combination of both fine and coarse particles (ie, PM10). Given the differences between the size fractions, the results imply that particles and their components derived from combustion sources (ie, PM,, 5) are more harmful to the cardiovascular system than larger coarse particles. Finally, there is some evidence that gaseous pollut- ants may also instigate hospitalizations. Hospital admissions for cardiovascular causes, particularly ischemic heart disease, were found to rise in relation to the previous -day and same-day level of SO2, even after adjustment for PM10 levels.105 Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 C] • • Primary Source Exposure Increment % Increase (95% Cl) Cardiac admissions, meta-analysis of 51 estimates COMEAP31 2006 20 µg/m3 PMiO 1.8 (1.4-1.2) Cardiac admissions, 8 US cites Schwartz 1999 20 µg/m3 PM10 2.0 (1.5-2.5) Cardiac admissions, 10 US cities Zanobett et al 97 2000 20 "/m3 PM10 2.6(20-30) Cardiac admissions, 14 US cites Samet et a198 2000 20 4m3 PM10 2.0 (15-2.5) Schwartz et a199 2003 Cardiac admissions, 8 European cities Le Tertre et a140 2002 20 µg/m3 PM10 1.4 (0.8-2 0) Cardiovascular admissions, 14 Spanish cites Ballester et a1700 2006 20 µg/m3 PM10 1.8(7-3.0) Cardiovascular admission, 8 French cities Larrieu et al10' 2007 20 ,,,,/m3 PM70 lPgg/m3 1.6 (0.4-3.0) Cardiovascular admissions, 202 US counties Bell et a11112 2008 20 PM10 08(06-1.0) Medicare nabonal claims history files Dominici et a1103 2006 10 WJ ,,,,/m3 PMS Ischemic heart disease, 0 44 (0.02-0 86) Cerebrovascular disease 0.81 (0.30-1.32) Heart failure 1.28 (0 78-178) Heart rhythm 0.57 (-0.01 to 1.15) Small but statistically significant drops in mortality were associated with an 81/2 -month copper smelter strike that resulted in sharp reductions in sulfate PM and related air pollutants across 4 Southwest states, even after controlling for other factors.93 Data from US Medicare enrollment files were used to estimate the association between changes in monthly mortality rates for US counties and average PM2 5 concentra- tions for the previous 12 months.94 PM25-mortality associa- tions were observed at the national scale but not the local scale, which raises concerns about possible staistical con- founding due to unmeasured individual and ecological vari- ables as a cause for any positive findings in this study.

Evidence Summary Excess cardiovascular mortality and increased rates of hos- pitalizations are similarly associated with day-to-day changes in PM air pollution (Tables 2 and 4). However, significant differences between geographic regions in the risk relation- ships have been observed, and more investigation is required to explain this heterogeneity. Specific Cardiovascular Events/Conditions Ischemic Heart Disease Among the cohort studies that provided relevant results, the ACS study found a relationship between increased risk for ischemic heart disease death and long-term exposure to elevated PM2.5 levels (Table 3).67•69.106 Indeed, ischemic cardiac events accounted for the largest relative (RR 1.18, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.23) and absolute risk for mortality per 10-µg/m3 elevation in PM2 5.67 A survival analysis of US Medicare data for 196 000 survivors of acute MI in 21 cities showed the risk of an adverse post -MI outcome (death, subsequent MI, or first admission for congestive heart failure) was increased with higher exposure to PM 10.107 Data from the Worcester Heart Attack study also found that long-term exposure to traffic -related air pollution was associated with significantly increased risk of acute MI.108 However, in the Women's Health Initiative72 and the Nurses' Health Study,73 only disease categories that included fatal coronary events, but not nonfatal MI alone, were statistically elevated in relation to PM2 5. The effect size for cardiovascular mortality was much larger and much more statistically robust than for nonfatal events such as MI in both studies. Various time -series and case -crossover studies have also reported increased ischemic heart disease hospital admissions associated with short-term elevated concentrations of inhal- able and/or fine PM air pollution.31•40,103 In the US Medicare study, a reduction of PM2.5 by 10 11g/m3 was estimated to reduce ischemic heart disease admissions in 204 counties by 1523 (95% posterior interval 69 to 2976) cases per year.103 Several studies have also found positive associations between elevated PM or traffic exposures over a period as brief as a few hours109-111 or a few days and an elevated risk for MI (Table 5).13,110.112-115 In general, acute increases in risk for ischemic heart disease events have been observed consis- tently, even as rapidly as 1 to 2 hours after exposure to elevated PM, in case -crossover analyses. 109-111 Other studies have reported an increased risk for MI shortly after exposure to traffic. Peters et allll reported in 691 subjects in Augsburg, Germany, a strong association (odds ratio 2.92, 95% Cl 2.22 to 3.83) between onset of MI and traffic exposure within the past hour, although whether this was a result of the air pollution or a combination of other factors (eg, noise and stress) is not certain. Additional analyses did not report an association between recent UFP exposures and MI onset; however, the levels of PM2 5 and several gaseous pollutants 2 days earlier were related to MI risk. 116 The lack of relation- ship between MI and UFPs may be due to the fact that the levels were measured regionally and remote from the local- ized source and may therefore reflect exposure misclassifica- tion. Finally, in the only study in which participating subjects had coronary angiograms performed previously, ischemic cardiac events were found to occur in relation to PM air pollution exposure solely among individuals with obstructive coronary atherosclerosis in at least 1 vesse1.13 This finding suggests the importance of patient susceptibility (eg, the presence of preexisting coronary artery disease) for PM to trigger an acute ischemic event within hours to days after exposure. Heart Failure In the ACS cohort study, it appeared that deaths due to arrhythmias, heart failure, and cardiac arrest (RR 1.13, 95% Cl 1.05 to 1.21 per 10 µg/ru) were also associated with Downloaded from crrc.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2344 Circulation June 1, 2010 prolonged exposure to PM2 5, although not as strongly as ischemic heart disease mortality,67 although potential mortal- ity misclassification on death certificates makes the actual cause of death not entirely certain in all circumstances. Heart failure rates or mortality associations were not reported in the other cohort studies. Daily hospitalizations for heart failure have also been associated with short-term changes in PM exposure.31 Heart failure associations with PM were observed in a large daily time -series analysis of PM2_5 and cardiovascular and re- spiratory hospitalizations by use of a national database constructed from US Medicare files.103 A 10-µg/m3 in- crease in concurrent -day PM2 5 was associated with a 1.28% (95% CI 0.78% to 1.78%) increase in heart failure admissions, the single largest cause for hospitalization in this cohort. A reduction of PM2_5 by 10 ,ug/m3 was estimated to reduce heart failure admissions in 204 coun- ties by 3156 (95% posterior interval 1923 to 4389) cases per year.103 Another analysis in Medicare recipients in 7 US cities found a 10-µg/m3 increase in concurrent -day PM10 was associated with a 0.72% (95% Cl 0.35% to 1.10%) increase in heart failure admissions.117 Traffic - related air pollution has also been shown to be signifi- cantly associated with increased mortality risk after acute heart failure.18 Finally, a study from Utah's Wasatch Front area explored longer lagged -exposure periods and found that a 14 -day lagged cumulative moving average of 10 µg/m3 PM25 was associated with a 13.1% (95% CI 1.3% to 26.2%) increase in heart failure admissions.719 Cerebrovascular Disease Among the cohort studies that provided pertinent results, the Women's Health Initiative reported significant increases in both nonfatal stroke (hazard ratio 1.28, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.61) and fatal cerebrovascular disease (hazard ratio 1.83, 95% CI 1.11 to 3.00) per 10-µg/m3 elevation in prolonged exposure to PM2 5.72 However, no significant association between stroke mortality and PM air pollution was found in the ACS study.67 Several studies have also reported small but statistically significant associations between short-term PM exposure and cerebrovascular disease. Daily time -series studies of stroke mortality in Seoul, Korea,120.121 observed that elevated air pollution (including measures of PM, NO2, CO, and 03) was associated with increases in stroke mortality. When analyzed separately by stroke type,121 the pollution association was associated with ischemic but not hemorrhagic stroke. Risk of stroke mortality was also associated with daily increases in PM10 and NO2 in Shanghai, China .56 A daily time -series study in Helsinki, Finland, 122 found that PM25 and CO were associated with stroke mortality in the warm but not the cold seasons. Several studies have also observed increased stroke or cerebrovascular hospital admissions associated with in- creased exposure to PM or related pollutants.31.38.40.46.123-125 For example, a study of hospital admissions for Medicare recipients in 9 US cities125 found that several measures of air pollution (PM10, CO, NO2, and SO2) 0 to 2 days before admission were associated with ischemic but not heamorrhagic stroke. Studies of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks based on population -based surveillance have also been conducted in Dijon, France,126 where 03 exposure (but not PM 10) was associated with ischemic stroke, and in Corpus Christi, Tex,127 where both PM25 and 03 were associated with ischemic strokes and transient ischemic attacks. Peripheral Arterial and Venous Diseases There have been only a few studies that have explored a relationship between air pollution and peripheral vascular dis- eases. Studies using Medicare data for 204 US counties observed nearly statistically significant positive associations between daily changes in measures of PM pollution and hospitalizations for peripheral vascular diseases. 103,104 The ACS cohort foand no association between other atherosclerotic and aortic aneurysm deaths and long-term PM25 exposure.67 Recently, a case -control study from the Lombardy region of Italy found a 70% increase in risk of deep vein thrombosis per 10-µg/m3 elevation in long-term PM 10 level. 128 This is the fust observation that particulate air pollution can enhance coagulation and thrombosis risk in a manner that adversely affects the venous circulation in addition to the arterial cardiovascular system. Cardiac Arrhythmias and Arrest Several studies have observed associations between fine PM and related pollutants and cardiac arrhythmias, often based on data from implanted cardioverter-defibrillators.129-136 How- ever, no clear pollution -related associations were observed in studies from a relatively clean metropolitan area, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,137,138 or from a relatively large study in Atlanta, Ga.139 Similarly, pollution -related associa- tions have been observed with cardiac arrest in Rome, Italy,140 and Indianapolis, Ind,141 but not in Seattle, Wash.142,143 The mixed results may reflect different PM compositions due to different sources or variations among the methods used. Evidence Summary On the basis of the available epidemiological studies that have reported the associations between PM exposures with specific subsets of cardiovascular outcomes (morbidity, mor- tality, or hospitalizations), the existing level of overall evi- dence is strong for an effect of PM on ischemic heart disease, moderate (yet growing) for heart failure and ischemic stroke, and modest or mixed for peripheral vascular and cardiac arrhythmia/arrest (Table 6). Ambient Air Pollution and Subclinicall Pathophysiological Responses in Human Populations It is likely that many subclinical physiological changes occur in individuals in response to PM2.5 exposures that do not become overtly manifest as a cardiovascular event (eg, death or MI). The illustration of these more subtle responses bolsters the plausibility of the observable outcome associa- tions and provides insight into the pathways whereby air Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 • • • Brook et al Table 6.

The `Biological Mechanisms" section discusses the hypothesized global pathways and reviews the studies related to the fundamental cellular/ molecular mechanisms elucidated by controlled human and animal exposures and toxicological/basic science experi- ments. The following section reviews the recent evidence that ambient exposure to air pollution can mediate potentially harmful subclinical cardiovascular effects. In general, many positive associations are found (Table 6). Numerous complex interactions between variations in the characteristics, sources, and chemistry of the particles, coupled with diversity in time frames, mixtures of exposures, and degrees of individual Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2345 susceptibility, likely explain some of the disparity among findings. Systemic Inflammation There is evidence that under some circumstances, exposure to ambient PM can be associated with elevated circulating proinflammatory biomarkers that are indicative of a systemic response after PM air pollution inhalation that is not limited to the confines of the lung. Early reports found associations with day-to-day variation in acute-phase proteins, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, or white blood cell counts,144-147 as reviewed previously.' Limited evidence on the association between cumulative PM exposures and fibrin- ogen levels and counts of platelets and white blood cells was also available. 148 A number of more recent studies have reported positive associations with short-term ambient PM exposure and day- to-day elevations in inflammatory markers. These include increases in CRP in an elderly population149 and individuals with coronary atherosclerosis 150; CRP and fibrinogen in young adults151 and elderly overweight individuals 152; and CRP, tumor necrosis factor -a (TNF -a), and interleukin (IL) -1/3 in children. 153 Recent evidence has also been found for an upregulation of circulating soluble adhesion molecules (eg, intercellular adhesion molecule -1) in 92 Boston, Mass— area individuals with diabetes 154 and 57 male subjects with coronary artery disease in Germany. 150 In a larger analysis of 1003 Ml survivors, also in Germany, CRP was not related to PM exposure; however, ambient particle number concentra- tion and PM10 were associated with increased IL-6 and fibrinogen, respectively. 155 Short-term levels of in -vehicle PM2.5 have also been linked to increases in CRP among healthy highway patrol troopers.756 In a follow-up analysis, elevations in certain particulate components of traffic pollu- tion (eg, chromium) were associated with increased white blood cell counts and increased IL-6 levels.157 Short-term changes in ambient PM levels have also been linked to acute (1 to 3 days later) alterations in biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and platelet activation among elderly adults with coronary artery disease living in retirement communities in Los Angeles, Calif. 158,159 Pollutants associated with pri- mary combustion (eg, elemental and black carbon, primary organic carbon) and UFPs rather than PM2_5 appeared to be strongly associated with adverse responses in this population. Regarding more long-term exposures,160 a positive associ- ation between white blood cell count and estimated long-term 1 -year exposure to PM10 was reported in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Among 4814 adults in Germany, small increases in annual mean PM2_5 (3.9 µg/ru) were associated with increases in high -sensitivity CRP by 23.9% and in fibrinogen by 3.9% among men only. Estimated long-term traffic exposure was not related to inflammatory changes in either sex.161 Several studies, including some with improved exposure assessment,162 some that included analyses of large popula- tion cohorts,163,164 and a recent evaluation of long-term annual PM10 levels in England, 165 have not found a relation- ship between particulate exposure and inflammation. It is Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2346 Circulation June 1, 2010 conceivable that differences in the magnitude or character of the inflammatory response will occur because of variations in the particulate chemistry and duration/intensity of' exposures. Certain individuals may also be more susceptible. The evi- dence suggests that subjects with underlying cardiovascular risk factors and the metabolic syndrome may exhibit stronger associations. 157,160.166 Conversely, antiinflammatory medica- tions such as statins may mitigate the actions of ambient particles. 152,155 All together, there is some evidence for a positive association between recent and long-term PM expo- sure and a systemic proinflammatory response; nevertheless, there is variation in the strength and consistency of changes among the variety of biomarkers and patient populations evaluated (Table 6). Systemic Oszdative Stress A state of oxidative stress refers to a condition in which levels of free radicals or reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (eg, 02-, H2O2, ONOO-) are higher than normal (eg, healthy individ- uals in whom they are countered by homeostatic; processes such as antioxidants) and thus are capable of exerting many adverse biological effects (eg, lipid/protein/deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] oxidation, initiation of proinflammatory cas- cades). Although many biomarkers of differing systemic responses are available (eg, lipid or protein oxidation prod- ucts), oxidative stress may occur at the local cellular/tissue level and not be directly observable by circulating markers. In addition, oxidative stress is often induced by and elicits inflammatory processes. The 2 processes are biologically linked. Therefore, human studies investigating the effect of PM on oxidative stress per se are difficult to perform. Only a few studies have directly investigated the occurrence of systemic oxidative stress in humans in relation to ambient PM exposure. Three studies of young adults conducted in Den- mark demonstrated elevations in biomarkers of protein, lipid, or DNA oxidation in relation to PM exposure from traffic sources. 167-169 In a study of 76 young adults from Taipei, Taiwan,151 the investigators found evidence of increased levels of 8 -hydroxy -2' -deoxyguanosine adducts in DNA in relation to short-term elevations in ambient PM. Two studies have also demonstrated increases in plasma homocysteine, evidence that exposure to ambient PM can elevate this circulating mediator of oxidative stress.170,171 Finally, Romieu et a1172 found that dietary supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids might be capable of altering the systemic oxidative stress response (reduction in copper/zinc superoxide dismutase and glutathione) induced by air pollutants among residents living to a nursing home in Mexico City, Mexico. Because of the relatively small number of studies, more investigation is required to make firm conclusions and to understand the nature of the systemic oxidative stress response potentially induced by ambient PM (Table 6). Thrombosis and Coagulation Early reports indicated that increased plasma viscosity'44 and elevated concentrations of fibrinogen146 are associated with short-term changes in ambient PM concentrations. More recent evidence was found for an upregulation of circulating von Willebrand factor in 57 male subjects with coronary artery disease in Germany150 and 92 Boston -area individuals with diabetes. 154 Riediker157 found that com- ponents of in -vehicle PM2 5 were also related to increased von Willebrand factor and decreased protein C among highway patrol troopers. In the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, a 12.8-µg/m3 elevation in ambient PM70 was associated with a 3.9% higher von Willebrand factor level, 173 but only among those with diabetes. There was no linkage between PM10 exposure and fibrinogen or white blood cell levels. Alterations in other markers that indicate changes in thrombosis, fibrinolysis, and global coagulation have also been reported. An immediate elevation in soluble CD40- ligand concentration, possibly reflecting platelet activa- tion, recently was found to be related to ambient UFP and accumulation -mode particle (PMO,-, 0) levels in patients with coronary artery disease. 155 Ambient PM10levelshave also been associated with augmented platelet aggregation 24 to 96 hours after exposure among healthy adults.174 In this study, there were no concomitant observable changes in thrombin generation, CRP, or fibrinogen induced by PMI(). Increases in plasminogen activator inhibitor -1 and fibrinogen levels have been noted in healthy subjects,151 as well as elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor -1 in patients with coronary artery disease only, 175 in association with ambient PM levels in Taipei. Chronic indoor pollu- tion exposure to biomass cooking in rural India has also been associated with elevated circulating markers of plate- let activation.176 Recently, Baccarelli et a1128,177 demon- strated in healthy subjects and among individuals with deep venous thrombosis living in the Lombardy region of Italy that prothrombin time was shortened in relation to recent and long-term ambient PM10 concentrations. Nev- ertheless, some studies found no effects of ambient pollu- tion,178 nor have significant changes been reported among all the biomarkers or subgroups of individuals investigat- ed. 150, 154,170,173 Similar to the study on systemic inflarnma- tion, the results related to thrombosis/coagulation are quite variable given the differences in study designs, patients, biomarkers evaluated, and pollutants; however, these ad- verse effects appear somewhat more consistent among higher -risk individuals (Table 6). Systemic and Pulmonary Arterial BP Several studies have reported that higher daily PM levels are related to acute increases in systemic arterial BP (approximately a 1- to 4 -mm Hg increase per 10-µg/m3 elevation in PM).179-184 In a small study of patients with severe heart failure,185 pulmonary artery and right ventric- ular diastolic BP were found to increase slightly in relation to same-day levels of PM. Chronic exposure to elevated PM2 5 was associated with increased levels of circulating endothelin (ET) -1 and elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure in children living in Mexico City. 186 These results may explain in part the risk for heart failure exacerbations due to PM Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.-org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 is s r� L_J r� L_J Brook et al Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2347 exposure; however, not all studies of systemic arterial BP have been positive.187-189 Recently, Dvonch et a1190 demonstrated significant as- sociations between increases in systolic BP and daily elevations in PM2 5 across 347 adults living in 3 distinct communities within metropolitan Detroit, Mich. Much larger effects were observed 2 to 5 days after higher PM2.5 levels within a specific urban location of southwest Detroit (8.6 mm Hg systolic BP increase per 10-µg/m3 PM2 5) than throughout the entire region or cohort (3.2 mm Hg). This suggests that specific air pollution sources and components contribute significantly to the potential for PM exposure to raise BP. Interestingly, it was recently reported in a crossover study of 15 healthy individuals that systolic BP was significantly lower (114 versus 121 mm Hg) during a 2 -hour walk in Beijing, China, while the subjects were wearing a high -efficiency particulate -filter facemask than when they were not protected.191 Wearing the facemask was also associated with increased HRV, which suggests that the rapid BP -raising effects of particle inhalation may be mediated through the autonomic nervous system (ANS). In a similar fashion,192 reducing exposure to particulate pollution from cooking stoves was shown to be associated with lower systolic (3.7 mm Hg, 95% CI —8.1 to 0.6 mmHg) and diastolic (3.0 mmHg, 95% CI —5.7 to —0.4 mm Hg) BP among Guatemalan women than among control subjects after an average of 293 days. These findings demonstrate that indoor sources of PM (eg, cooking, biomass) may have important cardiovascular health consequences and that reductions in particulate exposure are capable of lowering BP, and they suggest that chronic exposure to PM air pollution may alter long-term basal BP levels. Even given the rapid variability of BP on a short-term basis and the numerous factors involved in determin- ing individual responses (eg, patient susceptibility, PM compo- sition, and time frames of exposure), overall, it appears that ambient PM can adversely affect systemic hemodynamics, at least under certain circumstances (Table 6). Vascular Function In the first ambient PM study related to changes in vascular function, O'Neill et a1193 reported that both endothelium -dependent and -independent vasodilation were blunted in relation to air pollution levels in Boston. The largest changes occurred in association with sulfate and black carbon, suggestive of coal -burning and traffic sources, respectively. Significant adverse responses were observed within 1 day yet were still present and slightly more robust up to 6 days after exposure. Moreover, the adverse responses occurred solely among diabetic individ- uals and not in patients at risk for diabetes mellitus. Two other studies'14.194 also demonstrated impaired vascular function due to short-term changes in ambient PM among diabetic patients. In the study by Schneider et a1,194 endothelium -dependent vasodilation was blunted during the first day, whereas small -artery compliance was im- paired 1 to 3 days after elevated ambient PM levels. Interestingly, higher concentrations of blood myeloperox- idase were related to a greater degree of endothelial dysfunction, which suggests that white blood cell sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be involved. In healthy adults, very short-term exposure to elevated levels of ambient PM from traffic sources while exercising for 30 minutes near roadways195 and when resting by bus stops for 2 hours196 has been related to impaired endothe- lium -dependent vasodilation. Daily changes in ambient gaseous pollutants (SO2 and NO.) in Paris, France, have also been associated with impaired endothelium -dependent vasodilation among nonsmoking men. 197 Finally, indoor particulate air pollution may also be harmful to vascular function. Brauner and colleagues'98 recently reported that reductions in 48-hour PM2 5 levels due to filtering of air in subjects' homes resulted in improved microvascular vas- cular function among elderly subjects. Nevertheless, changes in short-term ambient PM levels have not been linked with impaired conduit197 or microvascular'78 endo- thelial function in all studies. Even when the few negative studies are considered, the overall evidence supports the concept that ambient PM is capable of impairing vascular function, particularly among higher -risk individuals (eg, those with diabetes) and after traffic -related exposure (Table 6). Atherosclerosis A few cross-sectional studies have reported an association between measures of atherosclerosis in humans and long- term exposures to ambient air pollution levels. The fust study to demonstrate this relationship was an analysis of data from 798 participants in 2 clinical trials conducted in the Los Angeles area. A cross-sectional contrast in exposure of 10 µg/m3 PM2 5 was associated with an adjusted nonsignificant 4.2% (95% CI —0.2% to 8.9%) increase in common carotid intima -media thickness'99; however, in certain subgroups of patients, such as women, the effect was much larger (13.8%, 95% CI 4.0% to 24.5%). In a population -based sample of 4494 subjects from Germany,200 it was found that residential proximity to major roadways was associated with increased coronary artery calcification. A reduction in distance from a major road by half was associated with a 7% (95% CI 0.1% to 14.4%) higher coronary artery calcium score. Proximity to traffic was also related to an increased risk for peripheral artery disease in women but not men.201 In an analysis of 3 measures of subclinical disease (carotid intima -media thick- ness, coronary calcium, and ankle -brachial index) among 5172 adults from the Multi -Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, only common carotid intima -media thickness was modestly (yet significantly) associated with 20 -year exposure to PM2 5.202 In a related study from the same cohort, abdominal aortic calcium was associated with long-term PM2 5 exposure, especially for residentially stable participants who resided near a PM2.5 monitor.203 Although it appears that long-term exposure to higher levels of ambient PM might accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis, more investigations are needed (Table 6). Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2348 Circulation June 1, 2010 Heart Rate Variability Numerous studies have continued to explore associations between daily changes in PM air pollution exposure and alterations (typically reductions) in HRV metrics, putative markers of cardiac autonomic balance. 129•149,156.204-242 Recent observations in the Nonnative Aging Study cohort have shown strong effect modification of the PM-HRV relation- ship by obesity and genes that modulate endogenous oxida- tive stress or xenobiotic metabolism, such as glutathione S -transferase M1, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, and the hemochromatosis gene. 207,243,244 Additional findings suggest protective effects of statins, dietary antioxidants, and B vitamins, as well as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. 205,207,215,243,244 These results suggest that pathways that reduce endogenous oxidative stress have a protective effect that mitigates reductions in HRV due to ambient PM exposure. However, the overall results are not entirely consistent. Some studies have reported increases in HRV mediated by PM, specifically among younger healthy people and patients with chronic obstructive lung disease.156,208,216 Nevertheless, the general pattern suggests that PM exposure is associated with increased heart rate and reductions in most indices of HRV among older or susceptible individuals, such as those with obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Typically, time - domain measures (eg, standard deviation of normal RR intervals) and total power are reduced within hours after exposure. Most, but not all, pertinent studies have also found that the largest reduction in power is within the high - frequency domain. In sum, these observations provide some evidence that ambient PM air pollution exposure rapidly reduces HRV, a surrogate marker for a worse cardiovascular prognosis (Table 6). Although studies corroborating changes in autonomic activity by other methods (eg, microneurogra- phy or norepinephrine kinetics) have not been performed, the HRV findings are perhaps reflective of the instigation of a generalized cardiovascular autonomic imbalance due to rela- tively greater parasympathetic than sympathetic nervous sys- tem withdrawal. Cardiac Ischemia and Repolarization Abnormalities There has been limited direct evidence for the actual induc- tion of cardiac ischemia or repolanzation abnormalities in the electrocardiogram (ECG) by exposure to ambient levels of PM.223,245 Recent follow-up analyses from the initial ULTRA study (Exposure and Risk Assessment for Fine and Ultrafine Particles in Ambient Air)245 suggested that traffic -related combustion pollutants were most strongly related to the promotion of ST -segment depression among elderly non- smokers during exercise stress testing.246 Moreover, even very acute PM2_5 exposure within the past 1 or 4 hours has been associated with cardiac ischemia during exercise.247 New findings support these associations in elderly subjects248 and in patients with coronary artery disease in Boston.249 In the latter study, traffic -related PM was most strongly related to the incidence of ST -segment depression during 24-hour Holter monitoring, and the risk for ischemia was greatest within the first month after a cardiac event among patients with diabetes. Overall, there is a modest level of evidence that PM exposure can promote cardiac ischemia in susceptible individuals (Table 6). Epigenetic Changes There have been relatively few studies examining gene—air pollution exposure interactions, and most have done so while investigating a small number of loci for genetic polymorphisms. Although some studies have suggested greater air pollution susceptibility with one or another genomic polymorphism,207,243,244 few have evaluated the potential for epigenetic changes after exposures. Reduced levels of DNA methylation have been linked to aging, oxidative stress, and CVD. Recently, Baccarelli et a1250 have shown among 718 elderly participants in the Norma- tive Aging Study that short-term exposures (over 1 to 7 days) to PM2 5 and black carbon are associated with decreased "global' DNA methylation in long interspersed nucleotide elements. It was posited that oxidative stress from air pollution exposure could have interfered with the capacity for methyltransferases to interact with DNA or altered the expression of genes involved in the methylation process. This observed effect of pollution exposure; was analogous to changes seen with 3.4 years of aging m the cohort. Additional findings among workers in a furnace steel plant support these observations.251 Nevertheless, the mechanisms involved and the cardiovascular implications of these preliminary, although provocative, epigenetic changes require more investigation. Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors In addition to the fact that individuals with traditional risk factors are likely to be at higher risk for cardiovascular events due to PM exposure, air pollutants may also promote the development of these risk factors over a prolonged period of time. Few published studies have investigated this possibility. A report from the Multi - Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis has demonstrated that residential proximity to major roadways was associated with a higher left ventricular mass index as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.252 The degree of increase was analogous to a 5.6 -mm Hg increase in sys- tolic BP among the study participants. This suggests that traffic -related exposures may have increased left ventric- ular mass by chronically elevating systemic arterial BP, a common cause of left ventricular hypertrophy. However, other mechanisms cannot be excluded, such as systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, which could potentially activate neurohormonal pathways (eg, ANS imbalance, renin -angiotensin system) that could directly mediate such a finding. In addition, a recent study of adults older than 30 years of age (n=132224) participating in the National Health Interview Survey reported a significant association between self-reported hypertension and estimated annual PM2.5 exposure using US EPA monitoring data.253 A 10-µg/m3 elevation in PM2_, was associated with an Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 7 0 • I] • Brook et al adjusted odds ratio of 1.05 (CI 1.00 to 1.10) for the presence of hypertension. The increase in risk was found only among non -Hispanic whites. These studies provide some initial evidence that longer-term PM exposures may augment the risk for developing chronically elevated BP levels or even overt hypertension. Brook et a1254 have also demonstrated a novel relation- ship between a metric of long-term traffic exposure (NO2 level by residence) and the odds of having the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus among patients in 2 respiratory clinics in Ontario, Canada. In women only, the odds ratio of diabetes was 1.04 (95% CI 1.00 to 1.08) for each increase of 1 parts per billion (ppb) of NO2. Across the interquartile range (4 ppb NO2), exposures were associated with nearly a 17% increase in odds for diabetes mellitus. The first biological support for this finding comes from a study in Iran that demonstrated that the previous 7 -day -long exposure to PM10 was independently associated with worse metabolic insulin sensitivity among 374 children 10 to 18 years of age .255 These findings suggest that the systemic proinflam- matory and oxidative responses due to long-term PM air pollution exposure could potentially increase the risk for developing clinically important aspects of the metabolic syndrome, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Further studies in this regard are warranted. Evidence Summary Table 6 provides a consensus qualitative synopsis based on the expert opinions of the writing group members of the overall level of existing support, linking each surrogate or intermediate cardiovascular outcome with exposures to PM at ambient concentrations, based solely on the database of observational studies. Additional Epidemiological Findings and Areas of Continued Research Responsible Sources and Pollution Constituents Although PM concentration (mass per cubic meter) has been associated with cardiovascular events in numerous studies, the specific particulate constituents and the sources responsible remain less clear. Despite the fact that it is a difficult undertaking, several epidemiological stud- ies have attempted to identify the culprit components within the PM mixtures With regard to PM -associated inorganic ions (nitrate and sulfate), it has been suggested that the overall toxicological data do not clearly implicate these compounds as responsible for mediating the cardio- vascular health effects of PM2 5.256 Nevertheless, sulfate particles have been associated with cardiopulmonary mor- tality in the ACS and Harvard Six Cities studies.62.68 A recent time -series analysis among 25 US cities found that cardiovascular risk was increased when PM mass con- tained a higher proportion of sulfate, as well as some metals (aluminum, arsenic, silicon, and nickel).257 It is possible that these positive findings represent sulfate serving as a marker for an effect mediated by a toxic PM mixture derived from commonly associated sources (eg, Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2349 coal combustion). Nevertheless, a direct role for particle sulfate in causing cardiovascular events cannot be ex- cluded entirely.256 In California, short-term exposures to several different PM constituents that likely reflect combustion -derived particu- lates, including organic and elemental carbon and nitrates, were most strongly associated with higher cardiovascular mortality.258 Certain metals (zinc, titanium, potassium, and iron) and sulfate levels in the winter months were also positively related. Similarly, ambient levels of organic and elemental carbon have been most strongly linked among PM constituents with hospitalizations for CVDs in multipollutant models in a study among 119 US cities.2259 Finally, PM1_5 composed of higher levels of elemental carbon, along with the metals nickel and vanadium,48 has also been linked with greater risks for cardiovascular hospitalizations. 260 These results support that the chemistry or composition of the PM2 5 (eg, organic/elemental carbon and certain metals) along with the responsible source from which these mixtures are derived (eg, fresh combustion, traffic) may play important roles in determining the risk for cardiovascular events. However, the extent to which these constituents mediate specific responses, alone or together, and their importance beyond the concentration of PM, 5 mass alone represent an area of active research that requires more investigation to reach firm conclusions. Many experiments have demonstrated the especially toxic properties and strong oxidizing potential of the smallest particle sizes (eg, UFP) and of the specific chemical species typically rich within this size fraction (eg, transition metals, organic compounds, and semiquinones).261 Although some epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to ultrafine compounds17 may be associated with higher cardiovascular risk (eg, an elevation of UFP count by 9748/cm3 has been associated with an increase in cardiovascular mortality of approximately 3% within 4 days in Erfurt, Germany262) and adverse responses, 158,159 there have been few such studies because they are challenging to conduct, for numerous reasons. Moreover, there are few UFP monitors, and the levels measured at regional sites may not accurately reflect an individual person's exposure because of marked spatial heterogeneity, because the concentrations are dominated by local point sources of fresh combustion (eg, roadways). This could help explain some of the previously negative study findings. 116 Similarly, coarse particulates between 0.25 and 1.0 µm in diameter may affect the cardiovascular system, 221.264265 and although the available data related to hard events and cardiovascular mortality have suggested a relation- ship,265.266 recent findings have been less consistent.1O4 In the most recent time -series analysis of 112 US cities, coarse PM was independently associated with elevated all -cause, stroke, and pulmonary, but not cardiovascular, mortality after controlling for PM2.5.43 Coarse PM was also not associated with either fatal or nonfatal cardiovascular events after controlling for PM2 5 levels in the Nurses' Health Study267 or the Women's Health Initiative cohort analyses.72 Additional research is required to establish whether there are independent health effects of the other Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2350 Circulation June 1, 2010 particulate size fractions beyond those posed by fine particles. On the other hand, PM2 5 mass concentration is the metric most consistently associated with cardiovascu- lar morbidity and mortality. It remains to be determined whether this reflects limitations of available data, the long-lived and regionally homogenous atmospheric nature Of PM25, that few studies have investigated the indepen- dent effects of the other sizes, difficulties in performing epidemiology studies with adequate UFP exposure esti- mates, or that specific constituents within the fine PM fraction (or another unidentified agent correlated with that fraction) are actually responsible for causing cardiovascu- lar events. Although particles <0.1 µm (ie, UFPs) do make up a small fraction of PM2 5 mass, the correlation between UFP particle number and total PM2 5 mass concentration is often weak. Because of their minute size, UFPs make up only a small portion of the total PM2 5 mass, even though they represent the largest actual number of particles within fine PM. They also have the highest surface area and a differing surface chemistry. Therefore, changes in the underlying UFP concentration do not likely account for or explain the linkages between PM2 5 mass concentration and cardiovascular events observed in large: multicity studies. The overall epidemiological evidence thus indi- cates that fine PM poses an independent cardiovascular risk and that any putative effects of these other size fractions cannot fully explain the observed PM2 5—cardio- vascular morbidity/mortality relationship. On the other hand, there is mounting evidence for a distinctive role played by motor vehicle traffic—related expo- sures in elevating cardiovascular risk. 108,111,268,269 Lipfert et a176.77 interpreted the results of their analysis of the Veterans Affairs hypertensive male cohort as suggesting that traffic density was a more "significant and robust predictor of survival in this cohort" than PM2_5. Analyses of the Oslo,81 Dutch,82 AHSMOG,74.75,88 French PAARC,79 and German women cohorts80 and related studies from areas in the United Kingdom,270 Canada,271 Norway,272 and Rome 273 found that measures that often indicate traffic -related exposure (NO2, NO., traffic density, and living near major roads) were also associated with increased mortality. Long-term 5 -year aver- age traffic -generated air pollution exposure has been associ- ated with an increased risk of fatal MI (odds ratio 1.23, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.32 per 31-µg/m3 increase in NO2) but not nonfatal MI in Stockholm County, Sweden.274 The results mirror the results of several cohort studies72,73 that found that air pollution exposures appeared to be more strongly linked with cardiovascular mortality than nonfatal events. Recently, an analysis from a cohort in the Netherlands demonstrated that several metrics of traffic -related air pollution exposure remained significantly associated with increased risk for cardiovascular events even after adjustment for higher levels of traffic noise .275 The effect of long-term traffic -related exposure on inci- dence of fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease was recently assessed after adjustment for background air pollut- ants and cardiovascular risk factors in 13 309 adults in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.276 Interestingly, background chronic ambient PM2,5 concentrations were not related to the interpolated traffic exposure levels or to heart disease outcomes, which supports the highly localized nature of traffic sources of exposure. After 13 years of follow-up in 4 US communities, individuals residing within the highest quartile of traffic density had a relative risk of 1.32 (95% CI 1.06 to 1.65) for fatal and nonfatal heart disease events. Despite multiple statistical adjustments, the investigators also acknowledged the possibility for residual confounding as a potential source of bias. The specific traffic -related pollution components, such as UFP or gaseous -phase chemicals (eg, SVOCs), that are responsible for the positive findings among these studies remain unknown. The close proximity to road- ways within these epidemiological studies (eg, 400 m) required to observe an association with elevated cardiovas- cular risk, however, matches the atmospheric fate of these shorter -lived pollutants. The findings may thus suggest the existence of cardiovascular health effects mediated by spe- cific air pollutants rather than PM2.5 per se. There is room for improvement in assessment of traffic exposures in epidemi- ological research, and better approaches are now being incorporated into research projects, such as accounting for associated factors (eg, noise or spatial autocoirelation with socioeconomic status).275.277 Geographic differences in cardiovascular risk due to PM have also been observed across US regions, with more consistent or stronger effects observed in Eastern versus Western states.77,703,257 Differences between North American and European cities have also been reported.b1 PM exposures are typically, but not always,258 associated with larger effects during warmer months (spring through fall) than in the winter.45.103.257 Variations in pollution characteristics (eg, sulfate), time spent outdoors, air conditioning usage and particle penetration indoors, ambient temperature and mete- orology, and mobile (eg, diesel) or stationary (eg, coal combustion) sources of exposure may help explain these differences. Finally, variations in the cardiovascular risk posed by PM may also occur because of heterogeneity in the metric of exposure, such as personal versus background regional,25 indoor versus outdoor sources, and differences in intracity versus intercity gradients.69 A better understanding of the responsible constituents and sources is important and could potentially lead to more targeted and effective regula- tions. On the other hand, finding continued evidence that the adverse cardiovascular health effects cannot be linked con- clusively to a particular or specific chemical species or source of pollution but rather that they occur in response to a variety of exposure types or mixtures would support the present-day policy of reducing exposure to overall fine particulate mass to achieve public health benefits. Time Course and Concentration -Response Relationships Many studies have demonstrated that PM air pollution expo- sure does not simply advance the mortality by a few days of critically ill individuals who would have otherwise died (eg, mortality displacement or "harvesting"). 278,279 There also appears to be a monotonic (eg, linear or log -linear) concentration -response relationship between PM2.5 and mor - Downloaded from eirc.ahajoumals.org at University ofMichigan--AnnArbor on December 6, 2010 0 • 2 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 10 US cities, / all cause / i 10 Euro cities, cardio Brook et al Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD Harvard Six Cities, all cause Southwest states .! vs NMMAPS, all cause / •' ACS vs NMMAPS, / cardiopul. / ACS vs NMMAPS, `l Dublin, cardio all cause Utah Valley, all cause Dublin, all cause 10 Euro cities, all cause 20 3040 183 365 (6 mo) (1 yr) Time (days) tality risk observed in cohort studies that extends below present-day regulations of 15 µg/m3 for mean annual levels, without a discernable "safe" threshold .67,70,84 Cardiovascular risk due to particle exposure was also shown to extend below 15 µg/m3 in the recent analysis of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study.72 This monotonic association supports the idea that any reduction in particulate pollution will translate into health benefits within a population of people, each with their own individual level of susceptibility. It also suggests that a larger decrease in PM2 5 exposures will produce a greater reduction in mortality. Finally, a recent analysis of the literature provided important new insights into the nature of the PM exposure -response relationship.280 The risk for cardiovascular mortality was shown to increase in a linear fashion across a logarithmically increasing dosage of inhaled fine -particle levels that ranged from ambient PM air pollution (-0.2 mg/d), through secondhand smoke (xl mg/d), to active smoking (200 mg/d). This means that the exposure response is extremely steep at very low PM levels (ie, ambient air pollution) and flattens out at higher concen- trations (ie, active smoking). This may help explain the seemingly incongruent and comparatively very high degree of cardiovascular risk posed by the much lower levels of PM exposure from ambient pollution and secondhand smoke versus the much higher doses due to active smoking. Thus, the cardiovascular system may be extremely sensitive to very low levels of PM inhalation as encountered with ambient pollution. At present, the underlying nature and full scope of the temporal -risk relationship posed by longer-term PM expo - 3653 (10 Yrs) 2351 Figure 2.

Cohort studies using Cox regression survival analyses (over months to years) are capable of evaluating a more complete portion of the temporal -risk relationship than time -series analyses over only a few days that use Poisson regression. However, given the lack of complete information, no conclusions could be drawn on the full magnitude of the augmented risk posed by chronic exposures, the time window (a few months versus decades) required to exhibit this enhanced risk, the underlying biological causes, the extent to which statistical differences between study types explain the variations in risk, and whether clinically relevant chronic CVDs are precipitated by chronic exposures. Some writing group members believe it is important to differentiate as 2 distinct issues the potentially greater effect of long-term exposures on increasing the risk for acute events (eg, cardio- vascular mortality) compared with the putative effect on initiating or accelerating the development of chronic CVD processes per se (eg, coronary atherosclerosis). As such, it is possible that the greater risks observed in cohort studies could be capturing the fact that repetitive exposures over months or years augment the risk for sudden cardiovascular events in susceptible people, without actually worsening an underlying "chronic" disease process. On the one hand, the available studies demonstrate that the majority of the larger risk -effect sizes posed by longer-term versus short-term exposures appear to be manifested within Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2352 Circulation June 1, 2010 only 1 to 2 years of follow-up. Extending the duration of follow-up increases cardiovascular risk, but to a progressively smaller degree over time (Figure 2). The discrepancy in the effect sizes among study types (eg, cohort versus time -series studies) could also reflect differences in statistical methodol- ogies or population susceptibilities. 282--284 Recent attempts to investigate this matter64.84 suggest that the risk for acute events associated with chronic exposures may be reasonably well estimated by only the most proximal l to 2 years of PM levels. The most recent time frames of exposure also explain a substantial portion of the excess cardiovascular risk ob- served in several cohort studies. 70.72,73,83 These findings bolster the argument that relatively rapid and pliable (and potentially reversible) biological responses, such as the insti- gation of plaque instability or the enhanced thrombotic potential caused by PM -mediated inflammation or endothe- lial dysfunction (which can occur and abate over only a few weeks to months), could explain the biology responsible for this greater relative risk. On the other hand, cogent alternative arguments can be made to explain the differences in relative risk between the cohort and time -series studies. The likely high correlation of a recent year's exposure levels with exposures over many years, as well as the uniform rank ordering of exposure severity over time among cities, can explain why only a short period of PM exposure assessment is required to understand the risk of longer-term exposures. In addition, no studies have evaluated the potential risks of exposure over decades or a lifetime. PM augments the ability of traditional risk factors to accelerate the development of atherosclerosis in experimental settings. As such, it is also plausible that long-term exposures may enhance cardiovascular risk to an even greater extent by increasing an individual's susceptibility for future cardiovas- cular events or acute exposures. In addition, the full extent of this possibility may not be illustrated by the limited follow-up period (4 to 5 years) of the majority of cohort studies. The writing group thus agreed that this important issue requires more investigation. It is also possible that these 2 explanations are not mutually exclusive. Furthermore, it cannot be concluded from avail- able information that a long period of time is required for reductions in PM levels to translate into a decrease in cardiovascular risk. On the contrary, reductions in second- hand smoke 285 and PM air pollution levels 64.84.90,95 appear to produce fairly rapid decreases in cardiovascular event rates, within a few months to years .284 At present, the available data do not allow for firm conclusions regarding the underlying biology and the full extent of the potentially nonuniform PM exposure—to— cardiovascular risk temporal relationship. Susceptibility to Air Pollution Exposure Susceptibility refers to a heightened risk for a particular cardiovascular end point or event to occur compared with the general population at the same concentration of P1V1 exposure. Typically, this is indicative of an underlying medical condi- tion (eg, diabetes) or personal characteristic (eg, old age) that causes this enhanced risk. This is in contrast to the term "vulnerability," which refers to a population of individuals at greater risk for more frequent or high levels of exposures. Earlier studies reviewed in the first AHA scientific state- ment' suggested that susceptible populations include the elderly; individuals with diabetes; patients with preexisting coronary heart disease, chronic lung disease, or heart failure; and individuals with low education or socioeconomic status. In the ACS study, current and previous smokers appew-ed to be at the same or greater degree of risk.67 Among more recent studies, the Women's Health Initiative also reported positive findings among active smokers and an elevated risk for cardiovascular mortality induced by PM2 5.72 Conversely, current smokers were found to be at no increased risk for cardiovascular mortality in response to PM2 5 exposure in the Nurses' Health Study.73 Thus, the effect modification of smoking status requires more investigation. The APHENA study of European and North American cities recently con- firmed that elderly and unemployed individuals are at higher risk of short-term PM exposure.61 In a multicity time --series study in Asia, women, the elderly, and individuals with lower education and socioeconomic status were also shown to be at elevated risk.286 A few additional studies have reported some evidence of susceptibility to short-term PM exposures among older individuals, people with diabetes, and those with a lower level of education. 287-219 Finally, a recent study illus- trated that present-day levels of PM2 5 likely increase the risk for a cardiac event within a few days of exposure principally (or even solely) among individuals with preexisting signifi- cant coronary artery disease, even if they are seemingly healthy (eg, without anginal symptoms). Patients without obstructive lesions on heart catheterization were not at any risk for PM2 5 -induced myocardial events over the short term 13 This is not surprising, because most acute cardiovas- cular events occur among individuals with underlying vul- nerable substrate (eg, unstable plaques) and not in individuals with normal coronary arteries. Obesity has been newly recognized as a possible suscep- tibility factor. Two cohort studies have shown that a greater body mass index enhances the susceptibility for PM -induced cardiovascular mortality, at least among women.72,73 Al- though individuals with diabetes showed a trend toward greater risk in the Women's Health Initiative,72 hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking, elderly age, education, and income did not alter the risk association. Overall, there appears to be little effect modification by race, hypercholesterolemia, or BP among the studies. Finally, sex may also be a risk -effect modifier. The particularly robust risk estimates of the 2 cohort studies that included only women,72,73 the fact that PM increased cardiovascular risk in female but not male partici- pants of the AHSMOG study,75 and the multicity time -series findings in Asia 286 suggest that women may be at greater risk for cardiovascular mortality related to PM. Further studies are needed to clarify whether obese individuals and women are indeed susceptible populations.

Biological pathways linking PM exposure with CVDs. The 3 generalized intermediary pathways and the subsequent specific biological responses that could be capable of instigating cardiovascular events are shown. MPO indicates myeloperoxidase; PAI, plas- minogen activator inhibitor; PSNS, parasympathetic nervous system; SNS, sympathetic nervous system; and WBCs, white blood cells. A question mark (?) indicates a pathway/mechanism with weak or mixed evidence or a mechanism of likely yet primarily theoretical existence based on the literature. cardiovascular effects. Studies before 2004 were reviewed previously,' and only some are again discussed here for contextual background. A number of new experiments have demonstrated very rapid effects of air pollution, such as vascular dysfunction, which argues for the existence of pathways that convey signals systemically within hours of PM inhalation. On the other hand, there is also support for chronic biological effects, such as the promotion of athero- sclerosis. At the molecular level, persuasive evidence sup- ports an integral role for ROS -dependent pathways at multi- ple stages, such as in the instigation of pulmonary oxidative stress, systemic proinflammatory responses, vascular dys- function, and atherosclerosis. In sum, new studies continue to support the idea that inhalation of PM can instigate extrapul- monary effects on the cardiovascular system by 3 general "intermediary" pathways. These include pathway 1, the release of proinflammatory mediators (eg, cytokines, acti- vated immune cells, or platelets) or vasculoactive molecules (eg, ET, possibly histamine, or microparticles) from lung - based cells; pathway 2, perturbation of systemic ANS balance or heart rhythm by particle interactions with lung receptors or nerves; and pathway 3, potentially the translocation of PM (ie, UFPs) or particle constituents (organic compounds, met- als) into the systemic circulation (Figure 3). Exposure Considerations Animal and human exposure studies are discussed separately and apart from the effect of ambient PM because their methodologies and clinical relevancies vary widely. Con- trolled exposure studies involve exposing a subject to various size fractions of PM within a chamber connected to ambient air (concentrated or nonconcentrated) or a source of aerosol- ized particles. Virtual impactor systems that deliver concen- trated ambient particles (CAPs) from "real-world" ambient air are a commonly used approach for mimicking exposures to higher levels of ambient particles without requiring inva- sive methods or the generation of artificial particles.' Both a strength and limitation, however, is that CAPs can vary considerably from day to day in composition. Additionally, only certain particle size ranges are typically concentrated (eg, PM from 0.1 to 2.5 jum in the fine -CAP system), whereas Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2354 Circulation June 1, 2010 ambient air contains a mixture of particle sizes, volatile organics, and gases that are not concentrated (and can be lowered). Potential interactions between PM and gaseous copollutants on health end points are therefore excluded, unless the latter are reintroduced in an artificial fashion. Other methods of controlled -inhalation exposures include diesel engine exhaust (diluted and aged mixtures of high numbers of fresh combustion UFPs with vapor -phase components), road- side aerosols, and wood -burning sources. Regarding animal exposures, intratracheal instillation methods may sometimes be required because of the limited availability of inhalation exposure systems. Unfortunately, particle size and surface characteristics—mostly retained in inhalation systems with fresh sources of pollution and which may be important in influencing biological effects—are likely significantly altered in instillation systems or by methods that use previously collected particulate. However, the use of carefully modeled exposures (eg, deposition calculation) and the recognition that areas of "hot spots" containing markedly higher PM levels within the lung may occur even during normal inhala- tion make the results of these experiments potentially rele- vant.2 Further detailed discussions of exposure considerations are reviewed elsewhere.290 The protocol details vary considerably among the studies. Many aspects of exposure, including the duration, concentra- tion, PM size ranges and composition, and gaseous copollut- ants, are important to consider. A wide variety of outcomes may be anticipated depending on the biological pathways evoked by differing exposures. Moreover, there are multiple determinants of the subsequent physiological responses, in- cluding the time frames of investigation, preexisting suscep- tibility, animal models, and the details of the; outcomes investigated. All of these factors may explain some of the heterogeneity in the reported study results and must be taken into consideration when interpreting the findings. Animal Exposure and Toxicological Studies Studies that investigate the effects of exposure on susceptible animals (eg, those with preexisting cardiovascular or meta- bolic abnormalities) may be preferable in many circum- stances because of the increasing recognition that the path- ways underlying the biological effects of PM overlap (ie, modify and/or enhance) those of conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Such factors (eg, hypertension or atherosclerosis) may also be necessary or at least responsible for the evocation of a more readily observable or robust response. For example, in the context of systemic oxidative stress or inflammation, the cellular machinery for the generation of excess ROS and proinflammatory responses (eg, adhesion molecule and cyto- kine expression) is already primed or operational in suscep- tible animals. Pulmonary Oxidative Stress and Inflammation The molecular events responsible for triggering pulmonary oxidative stress and inflammation, along with the interactions between lung and immune cells, the inhaled PM, and the protective secretions (eg, surfactant, proteins, and antioxi- dants), are highly complex 4-6 as reviewed in detail elsewhere.290a.290b,414 In brief, size, charge, solubility, aggre- gation, ROS -producing potential, and chemistry play roles in determining the responses. These include the particle fate (eg, lung clearance versus retention rates), the nature of the PM -cell interactions (eg, immune versus lung cell uptake, host cell responses, and intracellular sequestration/location), and the dose (likely typically a small percentage of inhaled PM) and pathways of potential systemic transmission of PM or its constituents, such as in the circulation [free, intracellu- lar within circulating cells, (lipo)protein-bound] or via lym- phatic spread .4,5,29oa 2906 Because of their nano -scale size, UFPs may directly enter multiple lung cell types via nonph- agocytic pathways and adversely affect organelles, such as mitochondria.6.290a,290b Larger unopsonized fine particles are more typically taken up by phagocytes through interactions with innate immunity receptors such as MARCO (macro- phage receptor with collagenous structure) or other scavenger receptors .5,290,.2901, This may in fact be a protective mecha- nism that sometimes prevents harmful lung inflammation. Certain particle compounds may directly generate ROS in vivo because of their surface chemistry (eg, metals, organic compounds, and semiquinones) or after bioactivation by cytochrome P450 systems (eg, polycyclic aromatic hydrocar- bon conversion to quinones).6.2902,290b A particle surface or anions present on otherwise more inert particles may disrupt iron homeostasis in the lung and thereby also generate; ROS via Fenton reactions.291 Other PM constituents may do so indirectly by the upregulation of endogenous cellular sources (eg, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate [NADPH]) oxidase)292.293 or by perturbing organelle function (eg, mito- chondria) by taken -up PM components.261 Particle stimula- tion of irritant and afferent ANS fibers may also play a role in local and systemic oxidative stress formation .294 Given the rich antioxidant defenses in the lung fluid, secondarily generated oxidization products of endogenous molecules (eg, oxidized phospholipids, proteins) or a reduction in endoge- nous antioxidants per se may be responsible at least in part for the state of oxidative stress in the lungs (along with instigat- ing the subsequent cellular responses) rather than ROS derived directly from PM and its constituents. Subsequent to oxidative stress, antioxidant and phase II defenses may be activated (eg, inducible nitric oxide syn- thase, glutathione) via transcription factor Nrf2-dependent pathways.261 When inadequate, pathological oxidative stress can initiate a variety of pulmonary inflammatory responses. For example, ROS in the lungs has been shown to augment the signal transduction of membrane ligand (eg, epidermal growth factor by disrupting phosphatases) or pattern - recognition receptors (eg, toll -like receptors [TLR])295-299 and/or stimulate intracellular pathways (eg, mitogen -acti- vated protein kinases) that lead to the activation of proinflam- matory transcription factors (eg, nuclear factor -KR) that upregulate expression of a variety of cytokines and clhemo- kines.261 Alteration in lung cell redox status may itself stimulate nuclear factor -KR. Biological components within coarse PM could also directly trigger inflammation (eg, nuclear factor -KR pathways) by binding to T1R2 or TLR4 receptors or other innate immune pattem-recognition recep- tors.297 It is also possible that other components of metal -rich Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 • • C C] • • Brook et al PM could instigate inflammatory pathways via TLR activa- tion directly or via the oxidation of endogenous biological compounds that then serve as TLR ligands.300 Finally, there is some evidence that PM can activate inflammatory mitogen - activated protein kinase signaling by angiotensin 11 receptor - dependent pathways.295 These inflammatory responses can also exacerbate the initial oxidative stress [eg, via upregula- tion of cellular NAD(P)H oxidase] and thus initiate a positive -feedback cycle. Available studies support important contributions to pul- monary inflammation from innate immune cells such as neutrophils and macrophages (TNF -a, IL-6), as well as from the adaptive immune system, such as T cells (IL-1, IL-4, IL-6, and II. -10). Although the dominant source of cytokines likely represents the alveolar macrophages and lung epithelial cells, the role of other innate and adaptive immune cells cannot be ruled out.299,301,302 Recently, myeloperoxidase activity was shown to increase after PM exposure in the same time course of appearance of cellular inflammation (primarily neutro- phils) in the lung.303 Gaseous components such as ozone may also amplify the toxicity of PM.304 Systemic Inflammation In the context of examining the cardiovascular effects of air pollution, it is important to consider the inflammatory medi- ators that are released from lung cells after contact with PM, because some could conceivably spill over to the general circulation or increase liver production of acute-phase pro- teins (eg, CRP, fibrinogen). An increase in circulating proin- flammatory mediators (eg, activated immune cells, cytokines) could thus serve as a pathway to instigate adverse effects on the heart and vasculature. Numerous experiments have dem- onstrated increased cellular and inflammatory cytokine con- tent, such as IL-6, II., -1p, TNF -a, interferon -y, and IL-8, of bronchial fluid and sometimes in circulating blood after acute exposure to a variety of pollutants.292,305-311 Critical roles for the elevations in systemic and pulmonary levels of IL-6 and TNF -a have been observed after PM exposure, typically coincident with pulmonary inflamma- tion.292,302,306,309,311-314 There is at least some evidence that the degree of pulmonary inflammation and systemic inflam- mation (IL-6) correlates with the elevation of systemic cytokines and systemic vascular dysfunction.314 In a 4 -week inhalation exposure to freshly generated diesel exhaust, IL-6 knockout mice did not demonstrate increased cellular inflam- mation or TNF -a in bronchial fluid, which implies a role for IL -6.315 Consistent with these findings, acute intratracheal exposure to PM10 resulted in an increase in IL-6, TNF -a, and interferon -y in the bronchial fluid.316 However, in this study, II. -6-/- mice showed roughly the same levels of TNF -a in bronchial fluid as wild -type mice, although interferon --y was decreased to control values.316 The results also suggested that lung macrophages play an important role, because depletion of these cells abolished the increases in some of the cytokines and systemic cardiovascular responses. Although our under- standing of the source of IL-6 and TNF -a and their involve- ment in the systemic inflammatory response after PM expo- sure remains incomplete, these and other experiments appear Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2355 to suggest that at least with PM, particles, alveolar macro- phages play a dominant role. 309,314,316 Among remaining uncertainties, the upstream signaling pathway responsible for the recognition of PM components that in turn produce the systemic inflammation has not been fully elucidated317; however, there is some evidence with other particulates and experimental models of lung injury that ROS generated by NADPH oxidase or pattern -recognition receptors may modulate some of these responses. 292,299,318 NADPH -oxidase knockout mice demonstrated significantly lower IL-6 and macrophage inflammatory protein -2 re- sponses to collected PM than wild -type mice.292 Extrapulmo- nary sources may also be involved in promulgating the systemic inflammation. PM2_5 exposure in a model of diet - induced obesity in C57131/6 mice for a duration of 24 weeks resulted in elevations in TNF -a and IL-6. In addition, there were increases in circulating adipokines, such as resistin and plasminogen activator inhibitor -1.319 The elevation in cyto- kines, thought to be derived from adipose sources, in addition to findings of adipose inflammation in that study, raises the possibility of additional systemic nonpulmonary sources of such cytokines. Systemic Oxidative Stress Numerous in vitro studies have demonstrated activation of ROS -generating pathways by PM incubation, such as NADPH oxidases, mitochondrial sources, cytochrome P450 enzymes, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in cultured cells or in pulmonary and vascular tissue. 293,311,320-329 Similar to inflammation, the oxidative stress after PM inhalation may not always stay confined within the lungs.330 The sources of excess ROS within cardiovascular tissue may include circu- lating immune cells or cytokines, depletion of defense mech- anisms (eg, impaired high-density lipoprotein function), ox- idation of lipoproteins or other plasma constituents, 331 activation of ANS pathways,294 or circulating PM constitu- ents (eg, soluble metals, organic compounds) reaching the vasculature.261 Activation of ROS -dependent pathways mod- ulates diverse responses with far-reaching consequences, including vascular inflammation/activation, atherosclerosis, impaired basal vasomotor balance, enhanced coagulation/ thrombosis, and platelet activation.290b Recent experiments have indeed confirmed the existence of footprints or markers of oxidative stress within the cardio- vascular system in the in vivo context. Acute -exposure studies332 have shown a relationship between the vascular dysfunction in spinotrapezius microvessels and the release of myeloperoxidase from leukocytes into the vasculature within only hours after the pulmonary instillation of PM.332 Inter- estingly, an insoluble particle (TiO2) induced very similar effects. More long-term studies333 have demonstrated that 10 weeks of exposure to PM2 5 increased superoxide production in response to angiotensin II and resulted in upregulation of NAD(P)H oxidase subunits and depletion of tetrahydrobiop- terin in the vasculature. These effects had functional conse- quences in terms of increases in systemic vascular resistance and BP. In another investigation that involved apolipoprotein E -deficient (ApoE-/-) fed a high-fat diet, chronic exposure Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2356 Circulation June 1, 2010 to PM2 5 exacerbated vascular oxidant stress and promoted atherosclerosis progression.334 The proatherogenic effects of ambient UFPS331 versus PM2 5 in genetically susceptible ApoE-1- mice in a mobile facility close to a Los Angeles freeway have also been compared. Exposure to UFPs resulted in an inhibition of the antiinflammatory capacity of plasma high-density lipoprotein and greater systemic oxidative stress, as evidenced by increased hepatic malondialdehyde and upregulation of Nrf2-regulated antioxidant genes.331 Other experiments294 have suggested that ANS imbalance may play an important role in PM -induced cardiac oxidative stress. Pharmacological inhibition of the ANS could signifi- cantly reduce chemiluminescence in the heart after expo- sure.303 More recently, an upstream modulator, the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor -1, within the lung was identified as central to the inhaled CAP -mediated induction of cardiac chemiluminescence .335 In these studies, capsaz- epine was able to abrogate ECG alterations in rats during the 5 -hour exposure, which suggests that neural ANS pathways are crucial. Thrombosis and Coagulation Earlier studies using intratracheal instillation of high concen- trations of diesel exhaust particles demonstrated the induction of lung inflammation, platelet activation, and increased pe- ripheral vascular thrombosis in both arteries and veins after photochemical injury.336,337 Thrombosis susceptibility was ascribed to direct passage of the instilled UFPs in the blood, because large polystyrene particles unlikely to cross the lung -blood barrier did not increase peripheral thrombosis. In a subsequent study, a persistent increase in thrombosis susceptibility to diesel exhaust particles was shown after 24 hours, an effect that was mitigated by pretreatment with sodium cromoglycate, which indicates that this response was secondary to histamine release from basophil degranula- tion.338 These same effects, however, were mimicked by 400 -nm polystyrene particles with a low likelihood of trans- gressing the pulmonary barrier, which implicates pulmonary release of histamine as a mediator of thrombosis at the later time point. Because histamine was increased in the plasma at 6 and 24 hours after exposure, and diphenhydramine miti- gated diesel PM -induced thrombosis at later time points but not at 1 hour, it was hypothesized that additional direct effects of PM constituents reaching the circulation may be respon- sible for the earliest prothrombotic effects.339 No increase in circulating von Willebrand factor was observed after instil- lation of both particles. Finally, pulmonary instillation of carbon nanotubes produced neutrophil lung influx 24 hours later. Circulating platelet -leukocyte conjugates were elevated 6 hours after exposure, whereas procoagulant microvesicular tissue factor activity and peripheral thrombotic potential were increased 24 hours later. Inhibition of P-selectin abrogated these responses, which demonstrates that rapid activation of circulating platelets by the pulmonary deposition of PM plays a vital role.340 This series of studies suggests that release of lung cell -derived mediators (eg, histamine) after several hours along with the more rapid activation of circulating platelets by lung inflammation via P-selectin-dependent processes may mediate distant system prothrombotic effects without necessarily inducing systemic endothelial damage. In a study using C57BL/6J mice, intratracheal PMIo particles rich in transition metals decreased bleeding, pro- thrombin, and activated partial thromboplastin time's and enhanced the levels of several coagulation factors as well as thrombosis times in response to experimental FeCl3 injury.316 This prothrombotic effect was mitigated in IL-6-'-- and macrophage -depleted mice, which suggests that IL-6. lung macrophages, and pulmonary inflammation are necessary initial steps. It is possible, however, that coarse -particle components (eg, endotoxin) could have been important mech- anistically via TLR activation. The effect of fine PM or UFPs per se requires more investigation. Chronic ambient exposure to PM,, has also been shown to increase tissue factor expression in macrophages and smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic lesions. Complementary in vitro studies with cultured human smooth muscle cells and monocytes demon- strate dose-dependent increases in tissue factor in response to collected ambient particles.341 Other findings also support potential procoagulant and thrombotic effects of PM 342.343 These collective studies suggest that both short- and long- term PM inhalation can enhance thrombotic and coagulation tendencies, potentially via increases in circulating histamine and inflammatory cytokines and/or activated white cells and platelets. The plausibility of these pathways is supported by the well-recognized cross talk between inflammation and thrombosis.344 Potential additional roles for UFPs or soluble constituents that reach the circulation and directly enhance platelet aggregation or systemic oxidative stress (thus acti- vating the endothelium and blunting platelet-derived nitric oxide) require more investigation. Systemic and Pulmonary Hypertension Early animal studies suggested small or inconsistent effects of PM on BP,34$-347 sometimes dependent on the season348 of exposures. A potential explanation may be variations in experimental protocols, including differences in the delivery, duration, and composition of exposure and the methods used to measure BP. Moreover, PM by itself may represent a relatively weak stimulus but may act more robustly in concert with other predisposing factors to affect BP. Sun et x1333 recently demonstrated a significant interactive effect of fine - CAP exposure with the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II in rats. Preexposure to PM2_5 for a 10 -week period resulted in enhancement of its prohypertensive response measured con- tinuously by intra-arterial radiotelemetry. The exaggerated BP elevation was accompanied by endothelial dysfunction, including blunted endothelium -dependent vasodilation and enhanced vasoconstrictor reactivity, along with upregulation of NAPDH oxidase and Rho -kinase -signaling pathways. In vitro exposure to UFPs and PM2.5 was also associated with an increase in Rho -kinase activity, phosphorylation of myosin light chain, and myosin phosphatase target subunit. Pretreat- ment with the nonspecific antioxidant N -acetylcysteine and Rho -kinase inhibitors prevented these responses, which sug- gests an ROS -mediated mechanism for particle -mediated effects on vascular smooth muscle constriction. Further Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 • • • • C� U Brook et al studies corroborated the role of exaggerated Rho -kinase pathway activity in potentiating the hypertensive response to angiotensin ll in mice exposed to PM2.5.349 Moreover, parti- cle exposure augmented angiotensin -mediated cardiac hyper- trophy and collagen deposition. Blockade of Rho -kinase abolished these effects. These responses suggest that chronic PM2.5 exposure disrupts normal vascular homeostasis and vasoactive mediator balance through ROS -dependent mech- anisms in a manner that sensitizes the vessel toward vaso- constrictors. Activation of RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling path- ways appears to play an important mechanistic role. In conscious canines with implanted BP catheters, systemic arterial BP increased and baroreceptor sensitivity was rapidly altered over a few hours during CAP exposure.350 Interest- ingly, a -adrenergic antagonism abrogated the responses. The findings support a mechanistic role for acute activation of the sympathetic nervous system by inhaled particles. In a study with Wistar -Kyoto male rats, CAP exposure for 4 days upregulated ET -A receptor expression in the heart. This alteration was also weakly correlated with an increase in BP, which suggests a role for enhance ET activity.351 PM has also been demonstrated to alter the release of ET -1 and ET -3 from the lungs.352 Elevation in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure, which suggests constriction of the pulmonary vessels, has also been demonstrated in re- sponse to respirable carbon black particles.353 Recently, ultraf ne carbon particles were shown to increase BP in spontaneously hypertensive rats 1 to 3 days after a 24-hour exposure.354 This response occurred concomitant with in- creased ET -1 messenger ribonucleic acid levels in lung tissue and small elevations in plasma renin concentration and angiotensin I and H in the systemic circulation. These findings further support the idea that ET may play a role in cardiovascular responses to PM exposure and suggest that activation of the renin -angiotensin system may also be involved. It is not clear whether the elevated circulating ET levels reflect increased release from the lungs and whether this mediates a systemic vasoconstrictor response. Alterna- tively, the increase may be more indicative of enhanced vascular tissue activity of these systems. Longer-term expo- sures of carbon black for 4 weeks in Sprague -Dawley rats has also been shown to significantly increase systolic BP con- comitant with increases in serum levels of IL-6 and CRP.355 Finally, in vitro exposure to soluble and insoluble compo- nents of UFPs induces constriction in isolated pulmonary arterial rings and activates intracellular signaling pathways such as phosphorylation of extracellular signal—regulated kinase -1/2 and p38 mitogen -activated protein kinase in pul- monary endothelial cells. These effects were antagonized by losartan, and several metal components (copper and zinc) could replicate the responses.295 This suggests a possible role for activation of angiotensin II receptor pathways relevant for the maintenance of vasomotor tone and smooth muscle constriction after inhalation of metal constituents within PM. In sum, the studies demonstrate that long-term PM expo- sures over a period of weeks are capable of enhancing vasoconstrictive responsiveness of the vasculature (eg, in- creased Rho -kinase activity and reduced nitric oxide bioavail- ability) by inflammatory and ROS -dependent cell -signaling Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2357 pathways. Shorter -term exposures over several hours to days may lead to vasoconstriction and increased pulmonary and systemic BP by pathways dependent on enhanced ET or angiotensin II signaling. Lung cells may release ET into the systemic circulation and thus increase its systemic activity, or the vascular ET system may be relatively upregulated be- cause of increased ROS or reduced nitric oxide. Activation of the renin -angiotensin system may also occur because of systemic oxidative stress or inflammation or as a conse- quence of ANS imbalance. The very acute increase in BP that occurs concomitant with the inhalation of particles or within only minutes to hours after exposure appears to be mediated by autonomic imbalance that favors a relative activation of the sympathetic nervous system. No study has evaluated the effect of air pollution on renal sodium handling or long-term pressure natriuresis mechanisms, which are fundamental to the generation of chronic hypertension. Vascular Dysfunction and Atherosclerosis Many early experiments demonstrated the capacity of PM constituents to blunt nitric oxide—dependent dilation and enhance vasoconstrictor tone in ex vivo vascular studies because of excess ROS formation.' The first in vivo experi- ment demonstrated the proatherosclerotic actions of intratra- cheal PM10 instillation.356 More recently, the pulmonary instillation of several different PM types was shown to rapidly impair microvascular endothelium -dependent vasodi- lation within days, likely by proinflammatory or ROS - dependent mechanisms (eg, myeloperoxidase).332 Several animal studies have now demonstrated that long-term expo- sure to ambient PM2 5, by use of ambient -exposure facilities without direct pulmonary instillation, not only causes endo- thelial dysfunction but also accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis. Sun et a1334 demonstrated that exposure of atherosclerosis -prone ApoE-1— mice to environmentally rel- evant levels of CAP, derived from regional northeastern PM2.5, for 6 months in conjunction with a high-fat chow diet potentiated plaque development and heightened vascular inflammation (CD68+ macrophage infiltration and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression) and oxidant stress. The atherosclerotic plaque progression was also accompanied by alterations in vasomotor tone, including decreased endothe- lium -dependent vasodilation and heightened vasoconstriction to adrenergic stimuli. Importantly, the normalized average PM2 5 concentration over the entire period was 15.2 µg/m3, which approximates the annual NAAQS. Similar findings were reported in other chronic CAP exposures that involved an ApoE-1— model.357 However, exposures to a double - knockout model of ApoE-deficient and low-density lipopro- tein receptor—deficient mice increased plaque cellularity, reflective of inflammation, but did not enhance plaque burden. It is possible that the atherosclerotic severity of this phenotype precluded the observation of more subtle effects of CAP exposures. Intratracheal instillation of UFP can acutely impair aortic endothelium -dependent vasodilation.358 Moreover, repeated 10 -week-long endotracheal dispersion of UFP carbon black increased atherosclerosis in low-density lipoprotein receptor— Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2358 Circulation June 1, 2010 knockout mice.359 This occurred without evidence of sys- temic translocation of particles into the cardiovascular tis- sues. UFP inhalation by use of exposure facilities has also recently been shown to augment atherosclerosis, perhaps to a greater degree than PM25. When investigating the effects of different PM size fractions, Araujo et a1331 compared the proatherogenic potential of exposure over 40 days to ambient particles <0.18 µm versus PM2.5 in ApoE-1- mice. UFPs caused more adverse cardiovascular responses (eg, systemic oxidative stress, impaired high-density lipoprotein function) and greater potency in accelerating atherosclerotic lesion formation, although PM2 5 did demonstrate qualitatively sim- ilar effects. Recent studies have also demonstrated that PM exposure likely promulgates systemic atherosclerosis by mechanisms that overlap those of other conventional cardio- vascular risk factors.360 Intratracheal instillation of PM,o particles caused a rapid impairment in endothelium - dependent vasodilation, stimulation of bone marrow -derived cells, and increased migration of monocytes into atheroscle- rotic plaques.361,362 Systemic inflammation (IL-6) was also related to the degree of endothelial dysfunction.314 Finally, the most compelling evidence for rapid impairment in nitric oxide bioavailability being directly involved in the origin of PM -induced endothelial dysfunction was demonstrated re- cently. Both fine -PM and UFM inhalation for only a few hours in normal rats blunted agonist -stimulated nitric oxide production within the microvasculature, measured by direct electrochemical sensors, concomitant with an observed im- pairment in vasomotor relaxation. Inhibition of myeloperox- idase or NADP(H) oxidase partially restored normal nitric oxide bioavailability and endothelial function, which suggests a role of activation of these endogenous radical --generating enzymes in this biological response.363 Potentially relevant adverse vascular effects of nonparticu- late PM components should not be discounted. 'There may also exist some synergy between vapor phase, gas, and particle constituents in relation to instigation of cardiovascu- lar responses. Recently,364 it was demonstrated in apoE-1- mice that whole gasoline engine exhaust over 1 or 7 days increased vascular messenger ribonucleic acid expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -2 and MMP -9. Levels of ET -1 and ROS were similarly increased. The vascular ROS and MMP -2 elevations were attenuated by tempol. Endothe- lial receptor antagonism ameliorated the vascular expression of MMP -2, MMP -9, and ROS. In separate experiments, diesel exhaust exposure to rats for 5 hours augmented ET -induced vasoconstriction, potentially via a blunting of ET -B -induced nitric oxide release.365 The findings suggest that exposure to a fresh mixture of PM, gases, and vapors may play a role in rapidly triggering atherosclerotic plaque vul- nerability via ROS and ET -dependent upregulation of MMP levels. Some studies suggest that predisposed animals may be more susceptible to air pollution -mediated vascular dysfunc- tion. Diesel exhaust particles delivered by intraperitoneal injection impaired nitric oxide -dependent vasodilation only in apoE-1- mice with atherosclerosis and not in healthy control animals.366 Aortas from prediabetic rats were found to be more susceptible to repeated exposures to oil combustion particles in causing noradrenergic -mediated constriction and impaired endothelium -dependent vasodilation.367 Taken together, the available studies suggest that short - and long-term particle exposures (including PMro, PM2 5, and UFP) can impair conduit and resistance arterial endothelium - dependent vasodilation. Chronic exposures have been shown to be capable of promoting atherosclerosis progression and enhancing plaque vulnerability. The underlying mechanisms likely involve vascular sequelae of systemic inflammation (due to interactions with innate immune cells and cytokines) or exaggerated oxidative stress pathways. Excess vascular ROS and inflammation will impair endogenous vasodilator bioavailability (eg, nitric oxide), enhance vasoconstrictor tone (eg, ET), and chronically activate multiple intracellular pathways that promote atherosclerosis. 368-370 Heart Rate Variability Some of the earliest indications of systemic effects of PM came from ECG studies in rats.371 In general, reductions in several measures of HRV have been shown.372-376 Most of the recent research has focused on exploring the roles of suscep- tibility and exposure characteristics. Decreases in heart rate and HRV indices have been reported to be pronounced in senescent mute, which indicates that aging may be a suscep- tibility factor.353 Using an anesthetized model of postinfarc- tion myocardium sensitivity, Wellenius and colleagues=177 did not demonstrate an effect of 1 hour of CAP exposure on heart rate or spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias. In contrast, in a post -MI heart failure model in Sprague -Dawley rats, diesel exhaust emissions reduced HRV in both healthy and heart failure groups and increased the incidence of premature ventricular contractions. Studies in mice have also indicated a potential role for transition metals and nickel in HRV alterations376 and provide initial clues on the PM components that could influence autonomic tone 48 Some beginning insight into the neural pathways inNolved has been reported recently. PM -induced ECG changes in rats were shown to be prevented by inhibiting the transient receptor potential vanilloid receptor in the lungs. This sug- gests that the relevant neural mechanism that leads to alter- ations in HRV or heart rhythm may be induced by activation of receptor-mediated autonomic reflexes in the lung.335 Cir- culating particle constituents or inflammatory mediators in- teracting with myocardial ion channels or electrophysiology did not appear to be a pertinent mechanism, at least in these studies.335 However, it is unknown whether similar rnecha- nisms can account for the HRV changes observed in humans, and a more detailed understanding of the anatomic pathways involved is required. Finally, it remains unclear whether the changes in cardiac HRV are actually caused by or merely illustrate an underlying alteration in ANS balance. Experi- ments that clearly define the direct contribution of sinnpa- thetic and parasympathetic nervous system activities (eg, microneurography, norepinephrine spillover rates, or auto- nomic receptor or ganglionic blockade) are needed. MI and Arrhythmia PM exposure can increase experimental infarct size and potentiate myocardial ischemia and arrhythmias in experi- Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 11 • 0 • • • Brook et al mental MI models. Relatively high concentrations of intra- tracheal UFP instillation induced pulmonary inflammation and doubled MI size in mice."' Conscious dogs exposed to fine CAP for several days experienced greater ST -segment changes during transient coronary artery occlusion.378 These studies suggested that particulate -related changes in myocar- dial blood flow may be responsible, a hypothesis recently supported by experiments in chronically instrumented dogs exposed to fine CAP before transient occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. PM exposure was associated with a small but significant decrease in total myocardial flow, especially in the ischemic zone, and increases in coronary vascular resistance without an alteration in rate-pressure product .379 The abnormalities were inversely related to PM mass, particle number, and black carbon concentration. Exposure to residual oil fly ash increases arrhythmia frequency in rats with preexisting premature ventricular complexes, which suggests that PM sensitizes ischemic myocardium to abnormal automaticity372; however, CAP had no effect in rats .3110 Nevertheless, the data suggest that PM exposure may potentially be capable increasing the sensitivity of the myocardium to ischemia, likely by impairing myocar- dial blood flow and perfusion. In theory, this could play a role in enhancing the propensity for ventricular arrhythmias. Insulin Resistance Recently, Sun et a1319 exposed C5713L/6 mice fed high-fat chow to fine CAP or filtered air for 24 weeks. Mice exposed to PM2_5 exhibited marked worsening of whole-body insulin resistance, systemic inflammation (increased IL-6 and TNF - a), and higher levels of adipokines, such as resistin and plasminogen activator inhibitor -1. PM25 increased visceral adiposity and inflammation (F4/80+ cells), with stromal vascular cells expressing higher TNF -a and IL-6 and lower IL-10 levels. Exposure also induced insulin -signaling abnor- malities and reduced phosphorylation of Akt and endothelial nitric oxide synthase in aortic tissue, accompanied by abnor- malities in vascular relaxation to insulin. Additionally, there was evidence that PM2 5 exaggerated adhesion of monocytes in mesenteric microvessels, culminating in accumulation in visceral adipose. These intriguing findings suggest that longer-term exposure to PM air pollution may promote the chronic development of insulin resistance, obesity, and the metabolic syndrome. Controlled -Exposure Studies in Humans Several new human exposure studies have been published, a few of which have even included patients with CVD or risk factors. Similar to the animal studies, large variations among the exposure protocols, measured outcomes, and subject susceptibilities likely explain much of the differences among findings and must be considered when interpreting the results. Systemic Inflammation Controlled human exposure studies have measured the effects on circulating inflammatory markers such as CRP, IL-6, and TNF -a. In many of these single -episode short-term exposures, Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2359 no overt changes in plasma cytokine levels were observed after CAp381-383 or diesel exhaust.345,3114-386 Similarly, CRP levels have not consistently been found to increase in the time frame and context of most of these studies. 313,3&'-386 However, there have also been some positive findings. Increases in IL -6313 and TNF -a 24 hours after exposure to diesel exhaust in healthy adults have been reported. High levels of ambient particles can stimulate the bone marrow to enhance the release of neutrophils, band cells, and monocytes into the circulation, which causes a cellular inflammatory response.387.388 Some controlled -exposure studies corroborate the existence of a cellular proinflammatory response that manifests as increases in circulating white blood cell or immune cell counts. In 1 study, increased peripheral ba- sophils in healthy older adults were noted 4 hours after a 2 -hour exposure to fine CAP.389 In a similar study, increased white blood cell counts were observed in healthy young adults 12 hours after exposure.381 Recently, investigators observed an increased in total white blood cell and neutrophil levels immediately after a 2 -hour exposure to CAP in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.390 Conversely, de- creases in blood monocytes, basophils, eosinophils, and CD54 and CD 18 adhesion molecule expression on monocytes after exposure to ultrafine carbon (10 to 50 ttg/m) among exercising asthmatic individuals and healthy adults have also been reported.391 The authors suggested in the latter study that these results may represent the sequestration of these cells in tissue compartments such as the lung or vasculature, where there may be selective expression of the corresponding receptors for these ligands.362 However, other recent human clinical studies have found no association between peripheral blood cell counts and exposure to fine PM or UFPs such as zinc oxide,392 ultrafine carbon,393 or diesel exhaust. 313.384,385 More subtle, yet physiologically relevant or functional proinflammatory changes may be overlooked by the measure- ment of circulating cytokines or cell counts alone in human studies. Peretz et a1394 recently evaluated gene expression using an expression array in monocytes after 2 hours of exposure to diesel exhaust. Although initially a small study, 10 genes involved in the inflammatory response were mod- ulated in response to exposure (8 upregulated, 2 downregu- lated). These findings will need to be reproduced in larger studies and raise the possibility that functional changes in inflammatory cells may occur without discernible changes in their levels in the peripheral circulation.394 In sum, the findings from controlled human exposures do not demonstrate a robust inflammatory response; however, they have been limited by the fact that they are, by necessity, of short duration and relatively low concentration. Addition- ally, the results do not preclude an effect of higher exposures, the presence of more subtle responses, or alterations in other cellular inflammatory pathways not measurable by circulat- ing markers. Systemic Oxidative Stress The demonstration of systemic oxidative stress is difficult in human studies. Nonetheless, a few studies have reported positive findings. These include an increase in urinary excre- Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2360 Circulation June 1, 2010 tion of free 8 -iso -prostaglandin -2a among healthy adults after a 4 -hour exposure to concentrated wood smoke 395 and an increase in plasma antioxidant capacity 24 hours after a 1 -hour exposure to diesel exhaust in a group of healthy volunteers.313 The investigators speculated that systemic ox- idative stress after exposure may have been responsible for this upregulation in antioxidant defense .313 Other investiga- torS394 have observed significant differences in expression of genes involved in oxidative stress pathways due to diesel exhaust exposure. Brauner et a1167 recently investigated the effect of ultrafine traffic particles on oxidative stress—induced damage to DNA in healthy young adults exposed to low concentrations of ambient urban particles (PM25 and PM 10-2s mass of 9.7 and 12.6 µg/m3, respectively) in an exposure chamber above a busy road with high traffic density. The authors observed increased levels of DNA strand breaks and formamidopynmidine-DNA glycosylase sites in monocytes after exposure to PM but no changes in the DNA repair enzyme 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase. Simi- lar to their previous findings with ambient levels, 168 the results suggest that short-term exposure to UFPs may result in damage to DNA. This may occur through oxidative stress pathways, although there was no increase in messenger ribonucleic acid levels in heme oxygenase -1, a gene known to be regulated by Nrf2, a transcription factor regulated by oxidative stress.396 Moreover, more recent observations by the same investigators failed to demonstrate significant bi- omarker signals for lipid or protein oxidative damage after similar near -roadway exposures.178 Although not entirely consistent, the available studies demonstrate that acute expo- sure to PM, perhaps even at ambient levels, may be capable of inducing acute systemic oxidative stress in human subjects under certain circumstances. The assays used to assess the footprint of systemic "oxidative stress" or damage may also play a significant role in the results. Thrombosis and Coagulation Several new studies of controlled human exposure have evaluated the effects of PM on hemostatic markers (eg, factor VII, fibrinogen, platelet count, D-dimer, and von Willebrand factor). Although some of these studies have not observed changes after acute exposures,392 others have reported in- creases in fibrinogen levels at 8 to 24 hours after exposure to CAP.311,397 Mills and colleagues384,385 recently demonstrated a significant effect of diesel exhaust on fibrinolytic function in response to intermittent exercise both in healthy men and in men with coronary heart disease. In both groups of volunteers, bradykinin -induced release of tissue plasminogen activator was observed to decrease compared with filtered air at 6 hours after exposure to diesel exhaust. These perturba- tions in tissue plasminogen activator release did not persist 24 hours after exposure.313 In a randomized, controlled crossover study involving "at -risk" metabolic syndrome patients, no changes in plasminogen activator inhibitor -1 were noted over a 24-hour duration; paradoxically, a decrease in von Wille- brand factor was noted in this study.398 In a similar experi- ment conducted in healthy adults, diesel exhaust had no effect on D-dimer, von Willebrand factor, CRP, or platelet counts compared with filtered air up to 22 hours after exposare.386 Other investigators 395 recently evaluated the effect of wood smoke on markers of coagulation, inflammation, and lipid peroxidation in young healthy subjects. Serum amyloid A and the ratio of factor VIII to von Willebrand factor, an indicator of an increased risk of venous thromboembolism, were increased at 4 hours after exposure.395 Samet et a1383 reported an association between various coagulation markers and exposure to ultrafine, fine, and thoracic coarse CAP among healthy young adults. Although exposure to coarse CAP did not result in significant changes in hemostatic variables, the overall trend suggested a prothrombotic effect. Exposure to UFPs increased D-dimer levels, whereas fine -CAP effects tended to increase fibrinogen, similar to previously reported findings.381 The measurement of blood levels of coagulation factors or biomarkers of thrombosis could potentially miss a relevant biological effect at the vascular wall. Recently, ex vivo thrombus formation was assessed by use of the Badimon chamber after controlled exposures to dilute diesel exhaust in healthy volunteers.399 This protocol measures thrombus for- mation in native (nonanticoagulated) whole blood triggered by exposure to a physiologically relevant substrate, under flow conditions that mimic those found in diseased coronary arteries. It may therefore provide a superior estimate of actual in vivo conditions related to thrombosis potential. Interest- ingly, dilute diesel exhaust exposure increased thrombus formation within 2 hours, in association with increased platelet activation (ie, increased circulating platelet -monocyte aggregates and soluble CD40 ligand). Taken together, these new studies have provided additional evidence that short- term exposure to PM at near -ambient levels may have small yet potentially significant effects on hemostasis in humans. Whether direct interactions of circulating PM constituents with platelets, activation of platelets due to lung inflammation or secondary to elevated systemic cytokine levels, or an increase in procoagulant factors (eg, fibrinogen) as an acute- phase response to inflammation (or a combination of these pathways) is responsible warrants attention in future studies. Arterial BP Although several studies have evaluated the BP response to acute exposures, many inconsistencies in results have been reported.400 This must be considered in the context that BP was not the primary outcome of interest in most studies, nor was it typically assessed with adequate sophistication. In one of the earliest studies, PM2 5 increased systolic BP in healthy subjects but decreased it in asthmatic ind ividuals.401 Three other controlled studies did not report changes among healthy adults .343,402.403 However, in a more detailed reanalysis of the changes in BP during the actual period of exposure to CAP plus ozone, Urch et a1404 found a significant increase in diastolic BP of 6 mm Hg. The magnitude of response was associated with the concentration of organic carbon within PM2.5.405 Recent follow-up studies redemonstrated an acute prohypertensive response during the inhalation of CAP in 2 separate cities .390 The PM2.5 mass during exposure and decreases in several HRV metrics were associated with the Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 0 L-] r� �J • 0 0 Brook et al magnitude of the short-lived diastolic BP elevation. This suggested that the most plausible mechanism for this acute response was CAP -induced ANS imbalance that favored sympathetic over parasympathetic cardiovascular tone. Whether this reaction occurred because of a generalized stress response, as a consequence of specific soluble PM constituents directly altering central nervous system activity, or via altered ANS reflex arcs due to the interaction of inhaled particles with lung receptors/nerve endings remains to be elucidated. The effect of inhaled particulates on BP has also been investigated in several other recent controlled human expo- sure studies. Two new studies assessed BP changes after a 1 -hour exposure to diesel exhaust. Mills et a1384 found a 6 -mmHg increase in diastolic BP 2 hours after exposure, which was of marginal statistical significance (P=0.08); however, this trend did not persist for 24 hours '384 nor was it found among patients with coronary artery disease.385 The available data to date suggest that short-term exposure to PMZ 5 or diesel exhaust is capable in certain circumstances of rapidly raising BP. The most consistent and largest effects were seen concomitant with the inhalation of particles. Thus far, the most likely mechanism for such rapid hemodynamic responses appears to be ANS imbalance. However, it is possible that reductions in nitric oxide bioavailability that modulate basal arterial tone toward vasoconstriction or increases in ET among other hemodynamically active molecules (eg, angiotensin II) also play a role in some circumstances. Vascular Dysfunction The first controlled human exposure study related to vascular function reported that CAP plus ozone exposure caused acute conduit arterial vasoconstriction in healthy adults.' Endothe- lium -dependent and -independent vasodilation remained in- tact. Recent follow-up experiments determined that PM,.,, not ozone, was responsible for the adverse vascular effects. However, in these subsequent and larger experiments, fine - CAP exposure did prove capable of diminishing conduit artery endothelium -dependent vasodilation 24 hours (but not immediately) after exposure.390 Postexposure PM2 5 mass and TNF -a level were both associated with the degree of endo- thelial dysfunction, which suggests that systemic inflamma- tion induced by higher levels of particles was likely respon- sible. Finally, the CAP -induced endothelial dysfunction occurred during exposures in Toronto, Canada, but not Ann Arbor, Mich, which suggests that the composition of the particles is probably an important determinant of the vascular responses. An acute alteration in vascular function/tone after short- term controlled PM air pollution exposure was corroborated recently.406 In 27 adults (10 healthy adults and 17 with the metabolic syndrome), a 2 -hour exposure to dilute diesel exhaust caused a dose-dependent constriction of the brachial artery and elevation in plasma ET level without impairing endothelium -dependent vasodilation. Contrary to the hypoth- esis that metabolic syndrome patients would show greater effects, vasoconstriction was greater in magnitude among the Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2361 healthy participants. In an additional study, 2 -hour exposure to UFPs composed of elemental carbon impaired peak fore- arm blood flow response to ischemia 3.5 hours later. There were no other vascular changes or alterations at other time points. BP was also not affected.407 Several recent studies have also shown that dilute diesel exhaust can impair peripheral resistance vessel responses to acetylcholine, bradykinin, and nitroprusside 6 hours after exposure .384 The blunted responses to acetylcholine persisted for 24 hours in healthy adults.373 In contrast, bradykinin and sodium nitroprusside—mediated vasodilation and bradykinin - induced acute plasma tissue plasminogen activator release were not altered 24 hours later. In subsequent studies, patients with stable coronary artery disease exposed to dilute diesel exhaust for 1 hour during intermittent exercise demonstrated reduced bradykinin -mediated tissue plasminogen activator release; however, microvascular endothelial function was not impaired.385 This may be related to some degree of preexist- ing endothelial dysfunction in these patients. However, exercise-induced ST -segment depression and ischemic bur- den were significantly greater during diesel compared with filtered air exposure. These important findings experimen- tally highlight that PM air pollution exposure can trigger, or augment existing, myocardial ischemia extremely rapidly (in fact, concomitant with exposure). Reduced coronary flow reserve (that was not observed or resolved at the time of the postexposure brachial artery studies) due to rapid alterations in coronary microvascular function may have contributed to the acute myocardial ischemia. Alternatively, acute ANS imbalance induced by diesel exhaust inhalation may have acutely altered coronary tone and impaired myocar- dial perfusion. In a study that exposed healthy young adults to 100 µg/m3 of diesel exhaust for 2 hours,$64 it was recently demonstrated that this air pollution mixture acutely raised plasma ET -1 and MMP -9 expression and activity within 30 minutes. These results corroborate the animal data that even short-term exposures can rapidly alter factors, such as MMP activity, that are mechanistically linked with causing atherosclerotic plaque disruption (and thus acute MI). The increase in ET levels also corroborates previous studies406 that showed that diesel exhaust can acutely affect important endogenous reg- ulators of vasomotor tone. Controlled air pollution exposures have not always been shown to impair endothelial function or vasomotor tone. Despite an increase in exhaled 8-isoprostane concentrations that suggested pulmonary oxidative stress, fine CAP did not affect brachial flow—mediated dilation or basal diameter in northern Scotland exposures .3112 However, the PM2,5 con- sisted of relatively inert ambient sea -salt particles and was extremely low in combustion -derived sources. This is in contrast to the particle chemistry in the investigators' previ- ous diesel exposure studies that showed positive find- ings.408•409 Moreover, 24-hour exposure to ambient pollution shunted into a chamber next to a busy street did not impair microvascular endothelial function in 29 healthy subjects, as assessed by digital tonometry.778 This exposure to near - roadway ambient air, which consisted of ambient UFP and PM2_5, did not alter biomarkers of inflammation, hemostasis, Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2362 Circulation June 1, 2010 or protein and lipid oxidation. The authors speculated that the relatively low concentrations of UFP numbers and PM mass or the young, healthy status of the subjects could explain the null findings. Taken together, these studies suggest that brief PM exposure can trigger conduit arterial vasoconstriction, possibly in relation to increased ET activity or augmented sympathetic ANS tone. Under certain circumstances, conduit and resistance arteriole endothelium -dependent vasodilation can also be impaired within a few hours. This abnormality is more likely due to reduced nitric oxide bioavailability as a consequence of systemic proinflammatory and oxidative responses; however, alternative mechanisms and endogenous vasoactive pathways have not been fully explored. It is also apparent that the composition, source, and concentration of pollution, along with the susceptibility of the human subjects, play important roles in determining the vascular effects of acute air pollution exposure. Heart Rate Variability The results of several new controlled human exposure studies provide limited evidence to suggest that acute exposure to near -ambient levels of PM may be associated with small changes in HRV. There are at least 4 studies to support this. In the first study, healthy elderly individuals experienced significant decreases in HRV immediately after exposure.233 Some of these changes persisted for at least 24 hours. Gong et a1410 studied healthy and asthmatic adults exposed to coarse CAPS with intermittent exercise. HRV was not affected immediately after the exposure but decreased in both groups at 4 and 22 hours after the end of the exposure; greater responses were observed in nonasthmatic individuals.410 In another study, healthy elderly subjects and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were exposed to ap- proximately 200 µg/m3 CAP and filtered air for 2 hours with intermittent mild exercise. HRV over multihour intervals was lower after CAP than after filtered air in healthy elderly subjects but not in subjects with lung disease. A significant negative effect of CAP on ectopic heartbeats during or after CAP exposure relative to filtered air was noted in the healthy subjects, whereas the group with pulmonary disease experi- enced an improvement during or after CAP relative to filtered x.389 Other investigators recently compared the; effects of 2 -hour exposures with intermittent exercise to ultrafine (av- erage concentration 47 µg/m), fine (average concentration 120 µg/m3), and coarse (average concentration 89 µg/rn) CAP among healthy subjects.383 In both the ultrafine and coarse studies, a crossover design was used in which each subject was exposed to both PM and filtered air. In the case of the fine -PM study, subjects did not serve as their own control but were exposed to either PM or filtered air. Thoracic coarse fraction CAP produced a statistically significant de- crease in the standard deviation of normal -to -normal heart rate 20 hours after exposure compared with filtered air. No statistically significant effects on HRV were observed after exposure to UFPs as measured during controlled 5 -minute intervals. However, the authors did observe a significant decrease in the standard deviation of normal -to -normal heart rate after exposure to UFPs based on an analysis of the Table 7.

Although some controlled -exposure studies have reported either no acute changes390 or, on occasion, increases in HRV metrics in subsets of individu- als 208,393,401 these studies generally demonstrate that acute PM exposure is capable of reducing HRV. More consistent reductions have been found among older adults (compared with younger subjects or those with lung diseases, who show mixed responses) and perhaps with exposures to larger parti- cles.233,389 Whether pulmonary ANS reflex arcs are activated by the deposition of PM within the lung or whether other pathways are responsible for these physiological changes in human expo- sure studies requires more investigation. Evidence Summary and Contextual Framework for Biological Mechanisms 0 Table 7 provides an outline of the level of evidence support- ing the generalized intermediary pathways and specific mech- anisms whereby PM exposures can be capable of eliciting Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 • 0 • Brook et al cardiovascular events. At the molecular level, oxidative stress as a critically important cause and consequence of PM - mediated cardiovascular effects has a sound experimental basis. 261,2906,294,319,333,334,345-349,351,361-364,411 At the integrated physiological level, the collective body of evidence continues to support the existence of 3 general pathways (Figure 3). Some of these responses, such as systemic inflammation (via pathway 1), likely require antecedent pulmonary oxidative stress or inflammation in order to be initiated Others, including ANS imbalance (via pathway 2) and PM or its constituents reaching the systemic circulation (via pathway 3), may not. Although PM -associated metals412 and certain UFps261.413-415 might be capable of translocating into the blood stream, some studies have been negative in this regard. 355,416 Many issues related to this pathway are contro- versial and require resolution .416 These include the relevance of the dosages delivered to cardiovascular organs, the conse- quences of particle constituent modifications after interac- tions with lung tissue/fluids and plasma components, the means of transport within the circulation (eg, protein bound or within cells)'417 and the time course and ultimate sites of PM sequestration. It is also possible that increases in some vasoactive mediators or molecules with adverse effects on cardiovascular tissue, such as ET -1,351-354 may occur in the lung and systemic circulation without the need for antecedent lung inflammation. Moreover, the 3 general pathways repre- sent a simplification of complicated biological processes. They may not be mutually exclusive, may overlap tempo- rally, and likely exhibit synergies in causing manifest cardio- vascular disease events. Many of the biological pathways are also known to exhibit mutual interactions (eg, inflammation with thrombosis/coagulation and with autonomic function). The pathways are also likely to be principally active at differing time points (eg, more rapid cardiovascular effects of autonomic imbalance than systemic inflammation) and likely vary in importance in relation to different durations of exposure and in causing different cardiovascular sequelae. The chemical characteristics and sizes of inhaled PM may also determine the pathways activated. As opposed to UFPs or some particulate components or chemicals, larger fine and coarse PM are not likely transported into the circulation to any large degree and therefore are more apt to require intermediary pathways to cause extrapulmonary effects. It may also be that surface -bound components may be delivered into the circulation, whereas larger particles themselves serve as a means to deliver the responsible constituent into the pulmonary tree. The hyperacute physiological responses that occur minutes to hours after PM inhalation are likely mediated principally via pathways 2 and 3. These include ANS -mediated changes (eg, elevated BP, arrhythmias, and vasoconstriction), along with direct effects of circulating PM constituents on platelets (eg, procoagulant and thrombotic changes) and the endothe- lium (eg, oxidative stress and vasoconstriction). These re- sponses are liable to be the dominant mechanisms responsible for the actual triggering of acute cardiovascular events. Clinically meaningful effects undoubtedly become manifest only in the context of a susceptible patient, typified by the individual with "vulnerable plaque" in the case of acute Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2363 coronary syndromes or strokes, "vulnerable myocardium" in the context of arrhythmias, or the "vulnerable circulation" in the context of a heart failure patient at risk for circulatory overload. On the other hand, the biological consequences of systemic inflammation, such as activated white cells and elevated cytokines (via pathway 1), typically require longer periods. Their penultimate effect is the induction of a chronic underlying vulnerable milieu that leads to atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, enhanced coagulation/thrombotic and arrhythmia potential, and impaired basal vasomotor balance. These actions thereby predispose individuals for future car- diovascular events, particularly when they occur in conjunc- tion with traditional risk factors or prompt susceptibility to the acute biological actions (via pathways 2 and 3) of later air pollution exposures. This hypothetical segregation of the biological effects of PM exposure as acute or chronic and into the broad pathways is artificial. It is useful in the broad context of understanding potential pathways; however, there is no doubt a large degree of overlap among the mechanisms and the timing of physio- logical responses. This is most aptly conveyed as the influ- ence of "acute on chronic" actions of exposure. For example, the activation of circulating platelets by the pulmonary deposition of particles or lung inflammation (eg, by P- selectin—dependent pathways, histamine, or IL-6) could oc- cur within hours and more rapidly than typical of the other consequences of inflammation (eg, progression of atheroscle- rosis). In the presence of a vulnerable or eroded coronary plaque due to long-term air pollution exposure, this sudden prothrombotic tendency could instigate an acute ischemic event (alone or in conjunction with other effects of short-term PM exposure via pathways 2 and 3). Furthermore, the epidemiological cohort studies demonstrate a larger relative risk for increased cardiovascular -related mortality than for morbidity. 72,73,227,274 If this is a true biological response and not simply a statistical phenomenon or a shortcoming of the available data, it not only suggests that exposures are capable of triggering acute cardiovascular events but that PM air pollution may also exaggerate their severity even if they would have otherwise occurred for reasons unrelated to air pollution. Therefore, exposure to PM could also be respon- sible for promoting fatal over nonfatal events. Conclusions and Recommendations A wide array of new studies that range from epidemiology to molecular and toxicological experiments have provided ad- ditional persuasive evidence that present-day levels of air pollutants contribute to cardiovascular morbidity and mortal- ity. Although not unexpected given the numerous and hetero- geneous nature of the published studies, all findings related to every single cardiovascular end point have not been consis- tent. However, the overall weight of scientific evidence now supports several new conclusions since the 2004 statement. These consensus points are given below by the AHA writing group after considering the strength, consistency, and coher- ence of the epidemiological findings, as well as in the context of evaluating the extent of the studies that provided related mechanistic support. Downloaded from circ.ahajournals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2364 Circulation June 1, 2010 • The preponderance of findings indicate that short-term exposure to PM2 5 over a period of a few hours to weeks can trigger CVD -related mortality and nonfatal events, including myocardial ischemia and MIs, heart failure, arrhythmias, and strokes. • The increase in risk for acute PM2 5 -associated cardiovas- cular morbidity and mortality is principally among suscep- tible, but not necessarily critically ill, individuals. Several studies suggest that susceptible individuals at greater risk may include the elderly, patients with preexisting coronary artery disease, and perhaps those with diabetes. Recent data suggest that women and obese individuals might also be at higher risk. • Most studies support the idea that longer-term PM2 5 exposures increase the risk for cardiovascular mortality to an even greater extent than short-term exposures. Because most studies have focused on mortality data, the effect of long-term exposures on nonfatal cardiovascular events is less consistent and requires more investigation. • The PM21 concentration—cardiovascular risk relationships for both short- and long-term exposures appear to be monotonic, extending below 15 µg/m3 (the 2006 annual NAAQS level) without a discernable "safe" threshold. • Long-term exposure to elevated concentrations of ambient PM2_, at levels encountered in the present-day environment (ie, any increase by 10 µg/m3) reduces life expectancy within a population probably by several months to a few years. Given that PM2 5 is most strongly associated with cardiovascular deaths in the cohort studies, the reduced life expectancy is most likely predominantly due to excess cardiovascular mortality. • The available studies are suggestive that reductions in PM levels decrease cardiovascular mortality within a time frame as short as a few years. • Many potential biological mechanisms exist whereby PM exposure could exacerbate existing CVDs and trigger acute cardiovascular events (over the short term) and instigate or accelerate chronic CVDs (over the long run). Experimental support is increasingly strong for several mechanisms, which lends biological plausibility for the epidemiological findings. • The existing evidence suggests that PM air pollution is capable of augmenting the development and progression of atherosclerosis. There is some support for a potential effect on several other chronic CVDs, including hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes. • Most recent studies support the conclusion that the overall absolute risk for mortality due to PM exposure is greater for cardiovascular than pulmonary diseases after both short- and long-term exposures. There are several additional areas worthy of highlighting in which the study results are reasonably consistent but in which the writing group believed further research was required to formulate firm conclusions. • Although there is only limited epidemiological evidence directly linking UFPs with cardiovascular health prob- lems,262 the toxicological and experimental exposure evi- dence is suggestive that this size fraction may pose a particularly high risk to the cardiovascular system. The likelihood of health effects and the causal pathways medi- ated specifically by UFP exposure have been debated among experts recently.418 Future research may help to more fully elucidate whether particles within the ultrafine size range (0.001 to 0.1 pm) and/or their constituents are more harmful to the cardiovascular system or pose a relatively greater cardiovascular risk than particles between 0.1 and 2.5 µm in diameter. • Similarly, many studies have found a strong association between metrics of traffic -related air pollution exposure and elevated cardiovascular risk. Whether this represents the harmful effects of UFPs or diesel exhaust particulates, major components of the traffic mixture, or other pollution components is unclear. Diesel and UFPs possess toxic properties that instigate harmful biological responses in experimental models. However, the particle size fraction(s) and roles played by other copollutants (gases, VOCs, SVOCs) within the traffic -related mixture have not been fully elucidated. Nevertheless, traffic -related pollution as a whole appears to be a specific source associated with cardiovascular risk. It likely poses a major public health burden, regardless of a putative higher toxicity, because of the commonness of exposure in modern society (eg, ac- counting for —60% of daily UFP exposure; http:// www.catf.us/projects/diesel/). • The importance of other specific sources, regional differ- ences in pollution composition, and other specific constit- uents remains less clear. However, toxicological studies have identified several transition metals (eg, iron, vana- dium, nickel, copper, and zinc), organic carbon species, semiquinones, and endotoxin as specific PM -related com- ponents capable of prompting oxidative stress and inflam- mation and thus likely imparting biological harm. Some source -apportionment studies also demonstrate that atten- tion should be given to these compounds as being among the most likely mediators of clinical CVD. More studies are required in this regard to clarify this issue and to better define these and other potentially responsible constituents and sources. • Although the focus of the present statement is on PM, we recognize that other au pollutants may also pose cardio- vascular risk alone or in conjunction with fine -particle exposure. In this context, we believe additional research is necessary to make firm conclusions regarding the indepen- dent cardiovascular risks posed by several gaseous pollut- ants (eg, ozone and NO2). Although ozone has been linked to increased cardiopulmonary mortality,50 strokes,126 and MIS419 in some short-term studies, long-term exposure was not associated with cardiovascular mortality after account- ing for PM in a recent analysis. 17 The recent finding that small changes in low levels of ambient carbon monoxide concentrations are related to cardiovascular hospitaliza- tions also merits further exploration.420 • Several secondary aerosols (eg, nitrate and sulfate) are often associated with cardiovascular mortality; however, whether these compounds are directly harmful ar are surrogate markers of toxic sources of exposure requires Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 • �1 LJ J • • 0 Brook et al more investigation. Similarly, the current literature re- garding the independent cardiovascular risks posed by coarse particles is mixed, with most recent findings not supporting an association after accounting for the effects of PM2 5,a3,72,104 Several recent cohort studies and intermediate end-point experiments suggest that obese individuals (and/or those with the metabolic syndrome) may be a susceptible popu- lation at greater risk for cardiovascular events due to PM2 5 exposure. This is a tremendously important public health issue to corroborate because of the enormous and growing prevalence of obesity worldwide. This updated review by the AHA writing group corroborates and strengthens the conclusions of the initial scientific state- ment. In this context, we agree with the concept and continue to support measures based on scientific evidence, such as the US EPA NAAQS, that seek to control PM levels to protect the public health. Because the evidence reviewed supports that there is no safe threshold, it appears that public health benefits would accrue from lowering PM2 5 concentrations even below present-day annual (15 µg/m3) and 24-hour (35 µg/m3) NAAQS, if feasible, to optimally protect the most susceptible populations. Evaluations of the effectiveness of such efforts would be warranted as well. Within the frame- work of attempting to establish causality between associated variables in epidemiological studies, there are several gener- ally accepted "aspects" that have been evaluated (the follow- ing phrases in italics per the Bradford Hill criteria)421: With regard to cardiovascular mortality and PM2 5 exposure, there is a consistent association that satisfies both a temporal and exposure -response relationship. There is coherence of find- ings among several fields of science, including toxicology, human and animal exposures, and different types of epide- miological studies and time frames of exposure. Rigorous experiments demonstrate multiple plausible biological mech- anisms. Finally, natural experiments have confirmed that a change (ie, reduction) in exposure produces a change (ie, decrease) in cardiovascular mortality. In this case, specificity of outcomes and strength of the observation are less pertinent, because PM exposure could be capable of causing multiple different types of events (eg, MIs, arrhythmias, and heart failure exacerbations), and the overall cardiovascular mortal- ity relative risk posed for any single individual is expected to be small. Nevertheless, given the ubiquity of exposure, the overall public health consequences can be substantial and observable in population- or large cohort—based studies. It is the opinion of the writing group that the overall evidence is consistent with a causal relationship between PM2.5 exposure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This body of evidence has grown and has been strengthened substantially since publication of the fust AHA scientific statement.' At present, no credible alternative explanation exists. These conclusions of our independent review are broadly similar to those found in the EPA's Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter final report (http:// cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfi-n/recordisplay.chn?deid=216546). In summary, the AHA writing group deems that PM2_5 exposure Particulate Matter Air Pollution and CVD 2365 is a "modifiable factor contributing to cardiovascular mor- bidity and mortality." Clinical Recommendations Several precautionary recommendations can be made for healthcare providers who interact with individuals who are at risk for CVDs. Although they have not been clinically tested or proven to reduce mortality, they are practical and feasible measures that may help to reduce exposures to air pollution and therefore potentially lower the associated cardiovascular risk. Moreover, a recent observational study found that patient awareness of air quality indices and media alerts along with health professional advice can significantly affect re- ported changes in outdoor activity to avoid exposure to air pollutlon.422 • Evidence -based appropriate treatment of the traditional cardiovascular risk factors should be emphasized. This may also lessen the susceptibility of patients to air pollution exposures. • All patients with CVD should be educated about the cardiovascular risks posed by air pollution. • Consideration should also be given to educating patients without CVD but who are at high risk (eg, the elderly, individuals with the metabolic syndrome or multiple risk factors, and those with diabetes). • Part of patient education should include the provision of information regarding the available sources (local and national newspapers [USA Today], EPA World Wide Web site [http://aimow.gov/], and The Weather Channel and its World Wide Web site [http://www.weather.com/1) that provide a daily EPA Air Quality Index. • On the basis of the forecast Au Quality Index, prudent recommendations for reducing exposure and limiting ac- tivity should be provided based on the patient's level of risk. A list of such recommendations is provided on the EPA World Wide Web site (http://aimow.gov/). For exam- ple, when the Air Quality Index for PM is "unhealthy" (151 to 200), then the recommendations are as follows: "People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should avoid prolonged or heavy exertion. Everyone else should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion." The action recom- mendations are as follows: "You can reduce your exposure to particles by 1) planning strenuous activity when particle levels are forecast to be lower, 2) reducing the amount of time spent at vigorous activity, or 3) choosing a less strenuous activity (eg, going for a walk instead of a jog). When particle levels are high outdoors, they also can be - high indoors. Certain filters and room air cleaners are available that can help reduce particles indoors." Practical recommendations to reduce air pollution expo- sure should be given to at -risk patients. Although unproven to reduce cardiovascular events, there are a number of prudent and feasible measures, including reducing optional or unnecessary exposures. Additional measures could include eliminating or reducing nonman- datory travel to highly polluted regions and avoiding exposures or outdoor activities (eg, exercising, commut- Downloaded from circ.ahajoumals.org at University of Michigan --Ann Arbor on December 6, 2010 2366 Circulation June 1, 2010 ing) during highly polluted times (eg, rush hours) or in proximity to major sources of pollution (eg, roadways, industrial sources). Choosing to exercise indoors with windows closed and using efficient air conditioning and filtering systems may be prudent for certain high-risk patients, particularly during peak pollution periods. Indeed, not only can central air conditioners reduce the indoor exposure level to PM from outdoor sources, there is some evidence that they might reduce the risk for cardiovascular hospitalizations associated with higher ambient pollution levels .423 If travel/commutes cannot be avoided, maintaining optimal car filter systems, driving with windows closed, and recycling inside ve- hicle air may help reduce PM exposures (http://www. catf.us/projects/diesel/).424,425 However, at present, no specific recommendations regarding the appropriateness of undertaking more aggressive mea- sures, even those shown to provide some benefits in a few studies (eg, wearing facemasks, installing PM filters in households), can be made based on the limited evidence. Similarly, although measures that decrease long-term PM exposures may produce even greater cardiovascular health benefits than the provided recommendations that focus on reducing short-term exposures, no specific recommendations (eg, moving to less polluted regions) can be prudently made at this time given the limited evidence. We acknowledge that occupational and indoor sources along with secondhand tobacco smoke are additional significant sources of personal PM exposures that should be avoided or reduced as much as possible. Finally, in developing nations, reducing exposure to indoor cooking sources of PM and air pollution from biomass combustion is a major issue of concem.426 Additional sug- gestions are available on the EPA World Wide Web site. Finally, although the existing evidence supports a causal relationship between PM2 5 and cardiovascular mortality, we acknowledge the importance of continued research in areas of controversy and uncertainty to further understand the full nature of this issue. Although numerous insights have greatly enhanced our understanding of the PM -cardiovascular rela- tionship since the first AHA statement was published,' the following list represents broad strategic avenues for future investigation: Mechanistic Studies • Better describe the physiological relevance in humans and the fundamental details of the mechanisms underlying the intermediate general mediating pathways (ie, PM or con- stituent transport into the circulation versus effects of inflammatory cytokines or activated immune cells versus ANS imbalance or other pathways) through which PM inhalation might mediate cardiovascular effects remote from the site of pulmonary deposition. • Understand the clinical significance and relative impor- tance of the observed biological responses (eg, vascular dysfunction, thrombosis, arrhythmia, ANS imbalance) in relation to the various causes of PM -mediated cardiovas- cular morbidity and mortality. • Examine the efficacy of preventive measures (eg, patient education) and treatment modalities (eg, statins, antioxi- dants, fish oil, treatment of traditional risk factors, and reducing exposures by engineering controls, including filtration, personal protection via facemasks, or behavior modification) on cardiovascular health outcomes. • Investigate the interaction between preexisting traditional cardiovascular risk factors (eg, diabetes, hypertension) and PM exposure, as well as the potential of air pollutants to exacerbate or worsen these risk factors. Determine the extent to which treatment of such factors (eg, with statins, aspirin, or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors), es- pecially among patients with known CVD, may modify the risk associated with PM exposure. • Describe the biological effects of acute on top of chronic exposures (eg, synergistic effects versus reduced susceptibility to acute exposures due to augmented protective mechanisms). • Determine the ability of long-term exposure to precipitate the development of chronic diseases, including clinically relevant atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and other vascular, metabolic, renal, or neurological diseases. Epidemiological and Exposure Studies • Expand our knowledge related to the "responsible" PM pollution constituents (eg, metals, organic compounds, sermquinones, endotoxin, and VOC and SVOC compounds), size fractions (eg, UFPs), sources (eg, traffic, power genera- tion, and biomass combustion), and mixtures of pollutants. • Investigate the cardiovascular health implications and im- portance of regional and intracity differences in composi- tion and combinations of pollutants. • Better understand the effects of mixtures of ambient pollutants (ie, potential synergism between PM and gas- eous or vapor -phase pollutants such as ozone). • Investigate the feasibility and utility of quantifying; risk coefficients (concentration -response functions) according to PM source or relevant indices of pollutant mixtures, as a function of susceptibility (eg, age, preexisting disease), for reliable application in integrated, multipollutant risk assessments. • Investigate the relative importance of various time frames of exposure in relation to PM causing cardiovascular events, including the relevance of epochs not well described, such as ultra -acute peak PM excursions (eg, 1 to 2 hours) and exposures of intermediate duration (eg, 1 to 12 months). • Better document the time course and specific cardiovascu- lar health benefits induced by reductions in PM. • Better define susceptible individuals or vulnerable populations. • Determine whether any "safe" PM threshold concentration exists that eliminates both acute and chronic cardiovascular effects in healthy and susceptible individuals and at a population level.

Kott 94 Sutter Road Port Angeles, WA 98362 Tel- 360-457-0933 Email. rkott@wavecable com April 3, 2012 Port Angeles City Council 321 East 5th Street Port Angeles, WA 98362 Dear Council Members: My Name is Richard Kott. I am a long time resident of the Port Angeles area residing at 94 Sutter Road and am the former Resident Manager of the mill under Crown Zellerbach ownership. I have a strong interest in preserving our environment and maintaining a strong local economy. With that objective I can fully support the Nippon cogeneration plant as a win for clean air and water as well as a win for our community. The project has been through a thorough environmental vetting by experts and has received all of the permits necessary from the City, ORCAA, and other regulatory agencies. Proponents, opponents and citizens at large have had ample opportunity to have their concerns considered. To suggest now that there should be a moratorium on the project and a City -sponsored open forum for review again is disingenuous. In fact in my opinion it is tantamount to bad faith by the City. As a council I urge you to reject this course of action and recognize that It Is an attempt by project opponents to use political pressure to achieve what they have failed to accomplish in the permitting and review process. The following paragraphs taken from my presentation at the 05/17/11 ORCAA hearing provide a review of some of the key points concerning the project going forward versus what we might expect if it were stopped. Outcomes if the plant is built. 1. It will consume a fraction of the biomass available from logging operations on the Peninsula. This will come from additional usage of hog fuel or biomass currently supplied to its boiler. Fuel truck deliveries to the mill will increase from about one truck per hour to 2 trucks per hour. 2. It will generate about 20 MW of power at about 70% overall efficiency. This green energy will reduce 20 MW of thermally produced power elsewhere on the Bonneville system. In all likelihood it will be from a coal fired stand- alone utility with a condensing turbine having an efficiency of 30%-40%. To confirm these numbers I checked the EPA Perrin Quarles * study of the 50 best performing coal fired plants in the United States. The average heat rate reported was 9854 Btu/kwh which equates to an efficiency of 34.6%. Using this number and medium grade coal having a heating value of 11,670 btu/Ib I calculated the CO2 production at 470 tons/day. Alternatively when there is a process use for the waste heat such as for drying paper the EPA studies* shows that energy efficiency can exceed 70%. At 70% an equivalent coal fired cogeneration plant would only produce 235 tons of CO2 /day or half the amount. Because the carbon to hydrogen ratio of biomass fuel is less than that of coal, the amount of CO2 produced in the Nippon plant would be even lower, less than 50%. Other combustion gases including NO, would also be proportionately less. 3. The particulate control devices planned for this project will be far more efficient than the existing system using older boiler technology. The mill's present system still meets current emission requirements but the projected particulate reduction is 68% with the new boiler and its advanced train of in-line dust collection equipment. 4. Burning of logging slash in the new boiler under controlled conditions rather than in the field or at the landings will further reduce air pollutants. Recent studies show that 38% of the PM2.5+ particulate In Clallom County Is from slash burning, wildfires and other uncontrolled fires. * 5. Fresh water consumption will be increased about 1.2mgd. This Is insignificant In terms of prior water usage. At times in the past the industrial water line was supplied 65mgd to the pulp and paper mills in Port Angeles. 1.2mgd calculates to 1.86 cu ft/sec flow in the Elwho River which is less than the hourly variation in river flow and inconsequent1ol when compared to the average river flow of about 1,500 cu ft/sec. 6. The mill is small by Industry standards. The cogeneration project will reduce costs for years to come and help the mill retain its competitive position. 7. The cogeneration plant will generate 25-30 new permanent jobs plus help ensure the future availability of existing family wage Jobs at the mill. In addition there will be the spinoff impact of related and supporting Jobs in Peninsula communities. S. The green power generated by this project will helpmeet our State's demand for renewable energy as mandated by State Initiative 1-937. Outcomes if the plant is not built: 1. The environment is the big loser with the amount of CO2 and related emissions being more than doubled from the source of the replacement energy. 2. The Nippon mill is small compared to other paper mills thus making survivability difficult Competitive mills can produce more tonnage on one paper machine than the Nippon mill can on its two machines. It still enjoys a small quality and technology advantage over its mayor competitors but this cannot be sustained without a major shift In cost factors which would result from the cogeneration plant. 3. 1 hesitate making this last point because of the severe implications. In my opinion the Nippon mill has a limited life if the cogeneration project is not successfully completed. As a side bar to this permit application please keep in mind that on June 1, 2011 the Elwha dams will stop producing power. Thus in 15 days there will bean immediate demand on the Bonneville system for replacement power of at least 20MW. As long as thermal plants are operating In our region increased production from one of them will be the source. This will come with the unwelcome addition of about 500 tons/day of CO2 and other exhaust gas emissions. It is interesting to note that this adverse carbon footprint was never reported in the various studies supporting the removal of the Elwha dams. In summary, yes the differences between building or not building the cogeneration plant are stark. The only conclusion I can reach is that the cogeneration plant is a win for the environment a win for the mill and a win for Peninsula communities. It will also provide partial mitigation of the increased carbon footprint resulting from removal of the Elwha dams. I encourage ORCAA to consider the local and regional impacts of this project and to issue the necessary air permit so construction can proceed without further delay. The 12/15/09 EPA study completed an intensive review of Particulate Matter ("PM"), and issues related to nanoparticles. The "Integrated Science Assessment for Particulate Matter" is EPA's latest evaluation of the scientific literature on the potential human health and effects associated with exposures to particulate matter. This study is the basis for EPA decisions related to the review of the current PM NAAQS. The result is EPA has continued using the best available science to regulate <PM25and <PM10 With this as a foundation there is no credible basis that the Nippon cogeneration plant will result in harmful emissions. I respectfully ask the Council Members to reject the idea of a biomass moratorium along with a divisive forum and continue directing their attention on the many significant issues facing our community.

Ticklers Fact Sheet Nippon Paper Mill Port Angeles, Washington January, 2012 In 2011 Nippon paid the City about $16 million for utilities including electrical and water utilities. i- In purchasing these utilities, Nippon paid more than $900,000 in utility taxes for the City's General Fund. That value will likely increase in 2012 due to higher BPA rates. Nippon owns the power lines feeding the mill and pays 100% of the maintenance costs on those power lines. Nippon also pays 100% of the maintenance costs on the industrial water line. ➢ In 2010, Nippon paid $374,000 in property taxes which support the City's General Fund. In 2011, Nippon paid about $432,000 in building permit fees for the new $71MM CoGen project of which the City has dedicated that amount to its waterfront improvements. i About 210 full-time personnel are directly employed by Nippon who earn very good family wages and benefits that support the local economy. i There are many Clallam County Companies and personnel who are direct suppliers to Nippon and who also enjoy family wages and benefits. ➢ Nippon spent $65MM locally in 2011. Using the Washington input output model that represents a further $260 MM in economic value to the area.

Cutler, P. E., Director of Public Works & Utilities SUBJECT: City of Burlington Interlocal Joint Purchasing Agreement Summary: The City of Burlington has requested that the City enter into a Joint Purchasing Agreement enabling them to purchase a new Hydro -Excavating Vacuum (HEV) Truck using our previous bid. Recommendation: Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a Joint Purchasing Agreement with the City of Burlington, and to make minor modifications to the Agreement, if necessary. Background/Analysis: The City of Burlington has requested the City enter into a Joint Purchasing Agreement. An agreement of this nature saves time and money by negating the need for the bidding process in certain instances. The City of Burlington is interested in purchasing a Hydro - Excavating Vacuum Truck, also known as a Catchbasin Cleaning Jetter Truck, like the one we bid last year. The purchasing of equipment and materials by bid requires a good deal of time and money to develop the specifications and then advertise for bids. By utilizing the contract from another agency, these expenses are eliminated while still ensuring the best buy. The City has similar agreements with the City of Tacoma and such entities as Clallam County, PUD No. 1 of Clallam County, City of Seattle, and King County. It is recommended that Council approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a Joint Purchasing Agreement with the City of Burlington, and to make minor modifications to the Agreement, if necessary.

The excavator will be assigned to the Equipment Services Pool for use by all divisions. At the same time, an existing Street/Stormwater Division backhoe (ST 1570) will also be moved to pool status with Equipment Services. Appropriate fund transfers will be made by Finance to reflect the equipment reassignments. These actions will result in more efficient use of equipment and both a backhoe and excavator will be available to all divisions. It is recommended that City Council declare the equipment listed as surplus and authorize the Director of Public Works and Utilities to dispose of it in the most efficient manner. NACCOUNCIL\FINAL\Surplus Equipment.docx E - 45 • • • 30RT DATE: APRIL 3, 2012 TO: CITY COUNCIL NGELES FROM: DAN MCKEEN, FIRE CHIEF SUBJECT: PROPOSED MEDIC 1 AMBULANCE TRANSPORT RATE ADJUSTMENTS Summary: Based on an audit of our current ambulance transport rates — comparing our rates against Medicare allowables and against the areas prevailing transport rates — the Fire Department proposes to adjust its Medic I transport charges by the following: -Basic life support (BLS) from $450 to $500 -Advanced life support (ALS -1) from $600 to $650 -Advanced life support (ALS -2) from $650 to $725 -Paramedic intercept service charge from $600 to $650 -Advanced life support, no transport from $600 to $650 -Mileage from $13 to $14 per mile The proposed fee adjustments will not affect City residents or an employee of a business within the City, as they are not billed beyond their private insurance coverage. Recommendation: (1) Hear presentation from staff, (2) Open public hearing, (3) Conduct first reading of Ordinance, (4) Continue to the April 17 Council meeting. Background/Analysis: As part of the 2012 budget process, the Fire Department requested Systems Design Northwest, LLC, conduct an audit of our current ambulance transport rates. Specifically, the Fire Department wanted our current ambulance transport rates compared against Medicare allowables and against the areas prevailing transport rates. Based upon the audit, Systems Design Northwest recommended the City increase its BLS ambulance transport rate from $450 to $500, its ALS -1 transport rate from $600 to $650, its ALS -2 transport rate from $650 to $725, its paramedic service charge from $600 to $650, its ALS no transport charge from $600 to $650, and its mileage rate from $13 to $14. The Fire Department concurs with System Design Northwest's recommendation and proposes to adjust the transport rates starting April 23, 2012. G-1 Proposed Medic 1 Ambulance Transport Rate Adjustments April 3, 2012 Page 2 Because the majority of the ambulance transport bills are paid based upon a fee schedule, raising our rates will not necessarily provide a corresponding increase in revenue. Medicare — our primary payer — will pay based upon their allowables, regardless of our rates. The comparative rate information for local area ambulance transport rates is provided in the table below. Agency Basic Life Support (BLS) Advanced Life Support (ALS -1) Advanced Life Support (ALS -2) Per Mile Charge Bremerton $425 $550 $550 $10 Central Kitsap $550 $700 $800 $15 Jefferson Co. #5 $500 $700 $700 $15 Joyce $450 $805 $805 $10 Port Ludlow $460 $600 $785 $14 Port Townsend $500 $600 $700 $15 Poulsbo $450 $600 $650 $11 Olympic Ambulance $650 $900 $900 $22 Quilcene $600 $700 $800 $15 AVERAGE $509 $684 $743 $14 Port Angeles current $450 $600 $650 $13 Port Angeles proposed $500 $650 $725 $14 The recommended rate adjustments will not affect City residents or employees of a business within the City as they are not billed beyond their governmental or private insurance coverage. In addition, protection against financial hardship for non-residents is provided. Non-resident charges may be waived or reduced in accordance with an income -based discount chart that is based upon federal poverty guidelines for Washington State. The public hearing will be continued to April 17, 2012, at which time the public hearing will be closed and staff will recommend that the proposed charges be adopted.

Cutler, P.E., Director of Public Works & Utilities Subject: Proposed Electric Utility Time of Use Rate Ordinance — Presentation and Public Hearing Summary: On January 17, 2007, City Council approved a voluntary time of use rate. On December 14, 2010, City Council approved the Advanced Metering Infrastructure System Agreement with Mueller Systems, which incorporated a time of use rate in accordance with the Retail Tiered Rate Methodology Study. On November 1, 2011, City Council directed staff to develop time of use rates as soon as it is technically feasible to do so. Recommendation: Following a presentation, proceed with a public hearing on the proposed Electric Utility time of use rate ordinance. Continue the public hearing to April 17, 2012. Background/Analysis: On January 17, 2007, City Council approved a voluntary Time of Use (TOU) rate for the Electric Utility, which was required in accordance with Section 1252 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Act required all electric utilities in the United States to offer smart metering and time -based rates to their customers no later than February 8, 2007. In anticipation of the Bonneville Power Administration wholesale power Tiered Rate Methodology (TRM), on April 20, 2010 City Council approved a consulting services agreement with EES Consulting to complete a retail TRM study. The retail TRM study was an ideal time to independently assess and evaluate retail rate design options for each Electric Utility customer rate class. At the completion of the retail TRM study, the City Council selected the TOU rate option for all customer rate classes. The City Council decision to proceed with TOU rates was incorporated into the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System Agreement that was approved by City Council on December 22, 2010. TOU rates align the relationship between wholesale power rates and retail rates, and provide customers the price signals that reflect the cost of power and energy at the time it is consumed. The AMI System and TOU rates also give customers the opportunity to manage their electric power costs, and an incentive to conserve electric energy use by shifting use to lower priced periods. The proposed TOU rates were designed to generate the same amount of revenues in 2012 as the current uniform rates. There is no anticipated impact for the average customer by adopting the proposed TOU rates. - NACCOUNCIL\FINAL\Proposed Electric Utility Time of Use Rate Ordinance - Public Hearing.doc G E3 • • • Proposed Electric Utility Time of Use Rate Ordinance April 3, 2012 • Page 2 On November 1, 2011, at the conclusion of last year's Electric Utility rate study, City Council stated that it intended to discontinue the current uniform rates and establish TOU rates as soon as staff determined it was technically feasible to do so. The staff has determined that implementation of TOU rates will be technically feasible upon completion of the AMI System, which is anticipated by the end of this year. Staff plans to implement a customer education program on TOU rates prior to the completion of the AMI System. • C A summary of the proposed residential TOU energy rates is below for the winter and summer seasons. The proposed TOU periods include: "heavy" from 6:00:00 AM to 1:59:59 PM Monday through Saturday, "medium" from 2:00:00 PM to 9:59:59 PM Monday through Saturday; and "light" for all other hours and North American Electric Reliability Corporation holidays. A demand response monthly credit of $10.00 is also proposed if customers choose to participate in the voluntary peak power project. There are no proposed changes to the current $15.75 monthly base charge.

The public hearing would be continued to April 17, 2012 at which time the public hearing will be closed. On April 10, 2012, the Utility Advisory Committee will be asked to forward its recommendations on the proposed ordinance to City Council. On April 17, 2012, City Council will be asked to continue the public hearing and consider adoption of the proposed ordinance. Attachment: Proposed Time of Use Rate Ordinance G-7 ORDINANCE NO.

Most of the corrections are due to numbering changes that are a result of regular International Fire Code updates. One notable update is the deletion of the requirement that some Institutional Occupancies have their fire alarm systems monitored by PenCom. This is an outdated requirement that places PenCom, a government agency, in direct competition with private alarm monitoring companies that provide the same service. In addition, the PenCom alarm monitoring equipment is aging, prone to false alarms and becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Recommendation: Conduct second reading of ordinance and consider adoption. Background/Analysis: The Fire Department conducts regular reviews of the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) in order to ensure that the applicable sections are current and correct. After the most recent review, it was determined that several sections of the PAMC require minor updates and corrections. Most of the corrections are due to numbering changes in the International Fire Code. The International Codes are revised on a regular three-year schedule and it is not uncommon for these revisions to result in numbering changes. One notable update is a change in the fire alarm monitoring requirement for some Institutional Occupancies. Currently, the PAMC requires that Institutional Occupancies (such as nursing homes and hospitals) have their fire alarm systems monitored by PenCom. This section of the PAMC was written decades ago when fire alarm monitoring by PenCom was cutting edge technology. In the subsequent years, commercial fire alarm monitoring system technology has greatly surpassed the equipment in place at PenCom. The PenCom system is outdated and it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. The system is prone to false alarms and other system faults. In addition, alarm monitoring by PenCom, a service that has been provided for free, is in direct competition with commercial alarm monitoring companies that provide the same service. Once this PAMC change is approved, we can continue to move forward with weaning commercial accounts off of PenCom monitoring. H-1 City Council _ _ • Page 2 April 3, 2012 On March 20, 2012, the City Council received a presentation on the proposed updates and corrections to the Port Angeles Municipal Code. The discussion on this item was continued to April 3, 2012, at which time the Council can again review the proposed changes. Staff is recommending that the proposed changes be adopted at the April 3 meeting. These proposed ordinance changes have been approved by the City Attorney.

Cutler, P.E., Director of Public Works & Utilities SUBJECT: Equipment Purchase — Excavator Summary: Funds were included in the 2012 budget to purchase an 18,000 lb. class excavator with attachments and trailer. The Fleet Manager researched pricing and sales options for the excavator and determined the most favorable pricing to the City through HGACBuy, an interlocal purchasing cooperative. The cost of the excavator increased higher than anticipated making it necessary to amend the budget to purchase a trailer. Recommendation: 1) Award and authorize the City Manager to sign a contract to purchase a John Deere 85D excavator from Pape Machinery, Inc. through HGACBuy Purchasing Cooperative Contract 11-2930 for an amount not to exceed $113,000.00, including sales tax, and to make minor modifications to the purchase contract, if necessary, and 2) Amend the 2012 budget to increase the Equipment Services Fund by $5,000.00 for purchase of a tandem axle tilt -bed trailer. Background/Analysis: The purchase of a small excavator is proposed as a means of adding versatility and productivity to excavation operations. For example, compared to a backhoe, an excavator can efficiently operate in a narrower worksite and reduce construction traffic congestion. The excavator will be assigned to the Equipment Services Pool and shared across divisions. Funds amounting to $115,000.00 were included in the Streets portion of the 2012 Equipment Services replacement budget to purchase an excavator and a used trailer large enough to transport the excavator along with a selection of digging attachments. The Fleet Manager identified the best purchasing option for an excavator through the City's membership in HGACBuy, an interlocal purchasing cooperative. A John Deere model 85D excavator was selected based on performance, durability, service support and price, and configured to City specifications. The excavator purchase is with a regional John Deere dealer, Pape Machinery, Inc., and includes 24 -inch, 36 -inch and 60 -inch buckets, for $103,900.00, plus tax totaling $112,627.60. This replaces vehicle 1570 which will be moved to the Equipment Services pool. Because of equipment cost escalation, an additional $5,000.00 is necessary to obtain a used trailer in good condition. That purchase will be executed through the City Manager's purchasing authority. It is recommended that City Council: 1) Award and authorize the City Manager to sign a contract to purchase a John Deere 85D excavator from Pape Machinery, Inc. through HGACBuy Purchasing Cooperative Contract 11-2930 for an amount not to exceed 113,000.00, and to make minor • modifications to the purchase contract, if necessary, and 2) Amend the 2012 budget to increase the Equipment Services Fund by $5,000.00 for purchase of a tandem axle tilt -bed trailer. J-1 NACCOUNCIL\FINAL\Equipment Purchase-Excavatondocx NGELE WASH ING TO N, CITY COUNCIL MEMO DATE: APRIL 3, 2012 TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: KENT MYERS, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC FORUM - BIOMASS FACILITIES Summary: During and following the March 20, 2012, City Council meeting, several citizens stated concerns about the current development of a biomass facility at Nippon. It was suggested the City Council might want to consider a moratorium on biomass facilities in the City Limits. Recommendation: City Council consider a proposal to sponsor a public forum on the pros and cons of biomass facilities. Background/Analysis: Following the March 20, 2012, City Council meeting, I met with Mayor Kidd, Councilmember Mania, and Attorney Bloor to discuss recent citizen concerns regarding biomass facilities. Since Nippon has secured all of the state and local permits for their biomass facility, it was agreed a moratorium would have very little impact. Therefore, the suggestion was offered for the City to consider sponsoring a public forum to present the pros and cons of biomass facilities. Council discussion and approval is needed prior to organizing such a forum. Do you want the City to be involved in organizing this type of forum? If so, what type of structure do you want to set for such a forum in terms of speakers, public comment, etc.? • • • Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce Board Members 2012 Member 1 Hallett & Associates 2 Key Bank 3 Individual member 4 Windermere 5 Olympic Cellars Winery 6 Port Angeles Farmers Market 7 Coldwell Banker Reality 8 Individual member 9 Columbia Bank PO Box 3050 1633 E Front St 203 Shade Tree Lane 711 E Front St 255410 Hwy 101 PO Box 336 1115E Front St 139 E Ahlvers Rd PO FOX 891 Seawm ZIP 98362 Jim Hallett 98362 Julie Hatch 98362 Howard Fisher 98362 Alan Barnard 98362 Kathy Charlton 98362 Cynthia Warne 98362 Jim Wahlsten 98362 George Bergner 98382 Brian Kuh 98362 Shenna Straling 98362 Todd Ortloff 98362 Sharon Stevenson 98362 Ed Bedford 98362 Jim Jones 98362 Edna Petersen 98362 Jeff Robb 98362 Noelle Fuller 98362 Cherie Kidd 10 Sterling Savings Bank 1033 E First Street Clallam County 233 E 4th St 11 KONP-Radio Pacific PO Box 1450 Port of Port Angeles PO Box 1350 12 Olympic Medical Center 939 Caroline Street City of Port Angeles Council Member PO Box 1150 -13 Individual member 236 E Front St #15 14 Clallam County 233 E 4th St 15 Port Angeles Business Assn (CPI) 217 N Laurel St 16 Port of Port Angeles PO Box 1350 17 Port Angeles Downtown Association 108 E First St 18 City of Port Angeles Council Member PO Box 1150 d(&-olypen com Dec -12 filling term of M Rainey Ex Officio olympiccellars com Dec -12 elesfarmersmarket(cDg_m_ all comDec-12 City of Port Angeles City Manager PO Box 1150 Olympic National Park 600 East Park Ave 983621 Kent Myers 98362 Todd Seuss Title: Phone Past Pres 360 457 6000 360 452 4554 360 477 4758 360 457 0456 360 452 0160 360 460 0361 Treasurer 360 417 2792 360 797 4752 President 360 457 3601 360 477 9731 360 457 1450 360 417 7293 Vice Pres 360 808 5498 360-417-2233 360-457-6400 360 457 8527 360 417 8978 360 417 4500 Ex Officao 360-417-4804 Ex Officio 360 565 3002 Staff Chamber Staff 121 E Railroad 98362 Russ Veenema Exec Dir 360-452-2363 x13 Lindsey Veenema Vist Ctr 360 452 2363 x15 Address Ends Ilettadvlsors us Dec -08 stay on 2012 as Past President tcha)kevbank com Dec -12 1hotmall com Dec -12 d(&-olypen com Dec -12 filling term of M Rainey olympiccellars com Dec -12 elesfarmersmarket(cDg_m_ all comDec-12 filling term of,1 Eades llypen com Dec -13 Filling Donya Alward term rge4food_n_et Dec -13 :olumblabank com Dec -13 filling Chris McKinney term strahng(aD-sterlingsavingsbank com Dec -14 onp coal --- -- Dec -14 son(cDolymplcmedlcal org Dec -14 )rd wavecable com Dec -13 >,co dallam wa us Dec -12 appointed by county 2@olypen com Dec -12 appointed by PABA Lrtofpa com Dec -12 appointed by port 'uller85 yahoo com Dec -12 appointed by PADA cl�a_us Dec -12 appointed by Cdv A -

WORK SESSION: SHORELINE MASTER PLAN: Presentation of new draft shoreline master plan. Associate Planner Scott Johns reviewed the steps taken to formulate a new draft shoreline master plan as required by the State Department of Ecology and noted that the Department of Ecology requires a revision of shoreline master plans every 7 years. He explained that the main difference between the original plan and the new plan is a reorganization of specific element sections and he noted that the revised plan includes expanded environmental designations and an administration section. Public outreach events were reviewed that included a public survey to determine desired uses and important issues to the public and was taken early on in the planning process in order to develop the revised plan. Mr. Johns explained the intent of each section and noted that an administrative chapter was not included in the original plan. Mr. Johns responded to a question from Commissioner Reiss that existing uses and activities that are active will be allowed to continue under the revised plan as with any other enactment of law. Mr. West responded that he doesn't anticipate any more stringent development regulations for shoreline areas than currently exist; the revised plan will simply define environmental areas and procedures for use more completely. • M-1 Planning Commission Anutes March 14, 2012 Page 2 COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC • None STAFF REPORTS WATERFRONT TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PLAN (WTIP) Director Nathan West provided the Commission with a detailed description of actual on -the - ground planning for the City's Waterfront Transportation Improvement Plan (WTIP). Commission members asked questions as to the amenities that have been worked into the Plan that include an esplanade, new beach area, viewing points, and a short bridge over Peabody Creek. The City Council stressed that they want to see a good deal of citizen participation in the development of this project. Mr. West stated that over 23 meetings and outreach events have taken place up to this point. A Facebook page has been established, the City's web site is utilized, display boards have been set up in the lobby of City Hall, staff have taken the plan to various community groups who are all very excited about the project. Such an upgrade to the waterfront area has been in the concept stage for many years. The project is broken into 11 different phases so work can begin when funds becomes available. A west end beach park is planned that will include beach restoration, a fountain feature, • sculptures, art plaza, play area, restrooms, and an office pavilion. Total project costs from Hollywood Beach to the Valley Creek Estuary are $17M; the west end park is approximately $4.2M. It is hoped to begin the project in July, 2012, continuing through early months of 2013. Work will be coordinated with the municipal Combined Sewer Overflow project that will result in economic efficiencies. Personnel are working to minimize impacts to local businesses that may result from construction activities. Many local firms have been involved in development of the plan thus far and that coordination and input is something that is very important to City staff and City officials. Commissioner Morris suggested that, given the cool environment of the area, bright, warm colors are used rather than the cooler pallets. Mr. West responded to questions and described some of the private improvement projects that are also being planned along the waterfront area in conjunction with the upgrade construction. He hopes that the waterfront improvements will stimulate additional business investment to improve and expand their businesses as a result of the updates. Planning Manager Sue Roberds introduced new Planning Commission members Scott Headrick and Duane Morris. Commissioners Headrick and Morris provided brief bios and noted their interest in serving the community. • M-2 L_ • 0 Planning Commission Minutes :March 14, 2012 Page 3 REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS None ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. r� r Sue Roberds, ecretary PREPARED BY, S.

The bond, along with a separate proposed $4 million bond to improve Civic Field, would replace existing expiring bonds, resulting in no new taxes. In order to move forward with the possible WTIP bond measure in 2012, there needs to be a strong commitment for advocacy from the project stakeholders. The initiative would have to be approved by City Council on May 11 in order for it to go to public vote in August. Status of the WTIP and possible bond -funded phases City Staff provided an overview of the entire Waterfront Project including the phase breakdown. Staff also provided details in support of the proposed project order. Phase 1 of the project, including the esplanade and Oak Street portions of the project, is fully funded and construction is intended to begin this summer. A possible bond measure would fund future phases of the project. Phase 2 of the project includes the West End Park portion located between Oak Street and the Valley Creek Estuary, which is anticipated to start in 2013 and could be fully funded if the bond measure is passed this fall. Another possibility is waiting to move forward with the bond measure to fund the eastern portions Railroad Avenue, Lincoln Street, Hollywood Beach, and City Pier which will be constructed between 2014 and 2017. The City intends to move forward with phase 2 regardless of a bond being passed. There is optimism that more grant funding will become available to the project as it becomes a higher priority on the State Transportation Improvement Plan. Recommendations and Concerns • If the bond is all the future local funds that will be available, we might lose ammunition for future grants by no longer having monetary matches. • Concern that if the bond goes to public vote and does not pass, it will kill the momentum and future of the project. • It was suggested that Bond funding could be allocated to cover a portion of each phase rather than all expended on one phase of the project. • Bond funding would be better allocated to project phases with lesser likelihoods of gaining grant funding. • Public web -survey to assess community support for the initiative. • Proactive outreach to adjacent property owners to get their commitment to invest in their properties prior to moving forward with a bond measure. • Concern about funding and staff availability to move forward with remaining phases. • There needs to be an advisory committee to take -on the initiative if it moves forward. • Continue to work closely with Feiro/NOAA on their feasibility study to make sure the plan accommodates their future facility needs. Next Steps Project stakeholders will go to their boards and memberships to get opinions, assess interest, willingness and commitment to support a WTIP bond. This group will reconvene on March 21, 2012 at 4 pm in the Pittis Conference • Room. M-1:? Waterfront and Transportation Improvement Plan (WTIP) Stakeholder Group Meeting • March 21, 2012 Attendees: Dan Gase, Betsy Wharton, Brad Collins, Carol Bernthal, George Bergner, Jeff Robb, John Ford, Kaj Ahlburg, Kent Myers, Charlie Smith, Barb Frederick, Nathan West, Randall McCoy, Tom Sanford, Mike Edwards, Roberta Korcz, Brian Kuh (not present). As a follow-up to a meeting held February 29, 2012, various stakeholders of the Waterfront and Transportation Improvement Plan (WTIP) were tasked with assessing whether there is support for proceeding with a bond measure to fund future portions of the project. As representatives of various community groups and public agencies, stakeholders reported on overall commitment and opinions on how to proceed. Feedback indicated uniform support of the project, but suggested holding off pursuing a bond initiative this August. Comments heard included: • Port Angeles Business Association: Wide support of the project, but "soft support" of a 2012 bond and no one individual committed to spearheading a campaign. Comments were also made about emphasis on security measures and other economic draws to ensure the future development brings people to the community. The PABA also supports the Civic Field bond measure. • City Council: Council supports the WTIP as the top City project, but need insurance there is a good shot of it passing if it goes to the voters in August. Waiting until November or 2013 would likely be a better possibility. • Chamber of Commerce: The Chamber is willing to take a lead in a campaign for a WTIP bond measure, but not this year. • • Port Angeles Downtown Association: A general feeling that a 2012 bond for the WTIP would lose in competition to a Civic Field bond measure, so holding off would be beneficial. It was also felt that waiting until phase 1 of the WTIP is completed would foster wider community support for the initiative. • • Feiro Marine Life Center: Concern was raised about a possible measure going to the voters this August during construction of phase 1 as it could be the height of negative opinions about the project. Waiting until next year when NOAA/Feiro have more concrete plans about future facility needs might be beneficial as well. • Alternative Transportation Advocacy of Port Angeles: A web survey indicated wide support of the Project indicated voter support for both a 2012 Civic Field and WTIP bond measure. • Port of Port Angeles: The Port will be discussing the Project and funding options as an upcoming joint Council meeting. One commissioner indicated that pursuing both a Civic Field and WTIP bond measure would be too much right now, and the WTIP should hold off. • Citizens at Large: With the economic times, it would not be a good idea to proceed right now, but waiting until something is successfully implemented would help with public support. The risk of losing momentum is a big concern, so moving forward regardless of a 2012 bond measure was emphasized. General consensus on the issue: The group is excited about the project and committed to supporting it, but adding it as a 2012 bond project is premature. The group recommends moving forward with a bond measure for the WTIP next year. The group will reconvene in a few months and generally organize themselves over the next six months to be ready to move forward with a 2013 campaign. City staff committed to providing the group with consistent Project updates including grant opportunities. M-13 NGELES Date: April 3, 2012 To: CITY COUNCIL From: Glenn A. Cutler, P.E., Director of Public Works and Utilities Subject: Professional Agreement for City Clerk, Police Department, and Mechanical Remodel — Project No. PD02-2011 Summary: Lindberg & Smith Architects, Inc. has been selected to provide professional architectural services for the remodel and renovation of the Police Department, City Clerk records storage, and to provide increased air conditioning and fire protection for IT requirements in City Hall and the Police Department. The final negotiated cost for phases 1 and 2 of the design project is a not -to -exceed amount of $25,000. There are 4 additional phases that may be awarded in the future by City Council. Recommendation: For information only; no action required. Background/Analysis: Gentry Architecture Collaborative had previously been selected to provide professional architectural services for this project. However, they have contacted city staff advising that they will not be able to take on this project at this time due to the increased amount of work they have recently taken on. Accordingly, Lindberg & Smith Architects, Inc. has been selected to prop ide professional architectural services for this project. The existing storage area for City records above the Police Department is inadequate to effectively and efficiently administer the increasing public records request requirements for the City. It is extremely difficult to work in due to the confines of its access and storage area. The area provides minimal security and fire protection and has no temperature controls. It is proposed that this function be relocated into the area of the weight room and vacant restroom in the northwest part of the Vern Burton facility. This would occur after that space is remodeled for this purpose, including proper ventilation, humidity and temperature control, and fire protection suitable for records storage. For the Police Department, 21 officers currently work in a hallway -like area. There is a critical need for storage space, interview rooms, and an improved prisoner holding area. This function could be served by the 2nd floor area currently occupied by the City Clerk records storage, as well as some upgrades to the first floor area. The final element of this remodel project would be to increase the capacity of air conditioning and fire protection for the IT system server rooms that serve both City Hall and the Police Department. The current air conditioning units are undersized and do not allow for adequate and sustained cooling of the computer servers in the Data Center.

The existing halon system is obsolete and is no longer supported due to ozone regulations for this gas. The current system is inoperable due to the inability to replace this prohibited gas. In addition, the PenCom equipment room, as well as the City Hall IT room, have wet sprinkle systems within them or above them which are incompatible for protecting electronic and communications equipment. If ever released, they would destroy all of the critical 911 and IT equipment in the room. It is imperative that the fire suppression systems and physical characteristics for protecting these rooms from the wet sprinkler systems be addressed expeditiously. • The project work will be planned and performed for five distinct tasks: Task 1 City Hall Information Technology (IT) Data Center Renovation Task 2 Police Department — IT Area Upgrades Task 3 City Clerk Storage Remodel Task 4 Additional Offices for Police Department Task 5 Police Department — 1 st Floor Renovation The services to be performed have been divided into six (6) phases. The phases are: 1. Review and summary report of all ADA and fire access requirements for all spaces 2. Programmatic phase for schematic design and estimate of all five tasks 3. 50% design phase submittal including estimate 4. 90% design phase submittal including estimate 5. Final design phase submittal including estimate 6. Post -award construction services Initial award of this Agreement will only be for phases 1 & 2. Phase 1 shall be completed prior to the approval of proceeding to Phase 2. In addition to the schematic design submittal, the Phase 2 deliverable of the estimate shall include both the estimated construction cost for each individual task and the budget estimate for the professional consultant services to accomplish each of the subsequent phases. Upon successful completion of Phase 2, subsequent phases may be awarded for any of the tasks based on a mutually agreed cost for consultant services. The choice of tasks to proceed to any subsequent phase will be at the sole discretion of the City. A notice to proceed will be issued at each phase of the project after City Council authorizes award and funding for those phases. In the 2012 budget, the City has authorized $250,000 for project PD02-2011. The final negotiated cost for phases 1 and 2 is a not -to -exceed amount of $25,000. The phase 2 programmatic budget estimate that will be produced by Lindberg & Smith Architects, Inc. will be used to correctly project the cost of the work for these improvements. The cost projection will be used in this year's Capital Facilities Program to adjust the final funding requirement needed for the entire scope of work. The initial award is expected to be signed on April 9, 2012 under the City Manager's authority of $25,000. This memorandum is being provided for informational purposes since any subsequent phases awarded under this professional services agreement will require City Council authorization.
