- Abstract
The article discusses the results of a study that examines whether the restricted air pollution emissions during the June 2-October 30, 2008 Beijing Olympics in China affect the markers related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The CVD pathophysiological pathways are biomarkers for systemic inflammation and thrombosis, blood pressure and heart rate. The study concludes that changes in the levels of air pollution during the 2008 Olympics were associated with significant changes in biomarkers of inflammation and thrombosis as well as measures of cardiovascular physiology in healthy young adults.
