  • Descrição: Most particulate matter (PM) health effects studies use outdoor (ambient) PM as a surrogate for personal exposure. However, people spend most of their time indoors exposed to a combination of indoor-generated particles and ambient particles that have infiltrated. Thus, it is important to investigate the differential health effects of indoor- and ambient-generated particles. We combined our recently adapted recursive model and a predictive model for estimating infiltration efficiency to separate personal exposure (E) to PM2.5(PM with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) into its indoor-generated (Eig) and ambient-generated (Eag) components for 19 children with asthma. We then compared Eigand Eagto changes in exhaled nitric oxide (eNO), a marker of airway inflammation. Based on the recursive model with a sample size of eight children, Eagwas marginally associated with increases in eNO [5.6 ppb per 10-μ g/ m3increase in PM2.5; 95% confidence interval (CI), -0.6 to 11.9; p = 0.08]. Eigwas not associated with eNO (-0.19 ppb change per 10 μ g/ m3). Our predictive model allowed us to estimate Eagand Eigfor all 19 children. For those combined estimates, only Eagwas significantly associated with an increase in eNO (Eag: 5.0 ppb per 10-μ g/ m3increase in PM2.5; 95% CI, 0.3 to 9.7; p = 0.04; Eig: 3.3 ppb per 10-μ g/ m3increase in PM2.5; 95% CI, -1.1 to 7.7; p = 0.15). Effects were seen only in children who were not using corticosteroid therapy. We conclude that the ambient-generated component of PM2.5exposure is consistently associated with increases in eNO and the indoor-generated component is less strongly associated with eNO.
