CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS IN PATROL OFFICERS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH FINE PARTICULATE MATTER FROM BRAKE WEAR AND ENGINE EMISSIONS

Abstract Background Exposure to fine particulate matter air pollutants (PM2.5) affects heart rate variability parameters, and levels of serum proteins associated with inflammation, hemostasis and thrombosis.This study investigated sources potentially responsible for cardiovascular and hematological effects in highway patrol troopers.Results Nine sa

An integrated-spectral analysis of surface waves (ISASW) test has been recently proposed as an alternative technique in pavement evaluation and monitoring.ISASW technique is developed from the spectral analysis of surface wave (SASW) method which has been a well known nondestructive testing (NDT) for geotechnical and pavement structures.Surface wav
