Background: More than one third of world’s population use biomass fuel for cooking that has been linked to an array of adverse health hazards including cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. As part of Bangladesh Global Environmental and Occupational Health (GEO Health) project, we assessed whether household air pollution (HAP) was associated with dysfunction in microvascular circulation (measured by reactive hyperemia index [RHI]). Methods: We measured exposure to HAP (particulate matter [PM2.5], carbon monoxide [CO], and black carbon [BC]) for 48 hours of 200 healthy nonsmoker adult females who used biomass fuel for cooking. Exposure to PM2.5 and BC were measured using personal monitor, RTI MicroPEM (RTI International, NC) with an internal filter that had been both pre- and post-weighed to capture the deposited pollutants concentration. Lascar CO logger was used to measure CO. Endothelial function was measured by forearm blood flow dilatation response to brachial artery occlusion using RHI based on peripheral artery tonometry. A low RHI score ( |
