  7. Exposure Assessment: Big Picture Over-arching goal: Most accurate estimate possible of each individual study participant’s exposure to air pollutants of interest over the period of study Focus is on ambient air pollutants Concentration vs. Exposure

  8. Individual Exposure Estimates EA =  CA= [fo +(1- fo)Finf] CA EAAmbient exposure  Attenuation factor fo Time outdoors (1-fo) Time indoors Finf Infiltration factor CA Outdoor concentration

  9. Exposure Assessment Overview Integrating Information from: Spatio-temporal outdoor concentration model (for CA) residential characteristics including pollutants’ infiltration efficiencies (for Finf ) personal time-activity records (for fo )

  10. Measurements Questionnaires Predictions Indoor Pollutant Measurements Outdoor Pollutant Measurements Geographic Data Reported Housing Characteristics Observed Housing Characteristics Deterministic Models Spatio-temporal Hierarchical Modeling Infiltration Modeling Predicted Outdoor Concentrations at Homes Predicted Indoor Concentrations at Homes Reported Time/Location Information Weighted Average Personal Exposure Predictions for Each Subject

  11. MESA Air Monitoring Campaigns Fixed Sites Home-based monitoring Outdoor Infiltration Traffic gradient and community-based NOx snapshots Personal monitoring

  12. Exposure Monitoring: Sample Counts Paired indoor-outdoor residential locations (collected twice) NOx snapshot monitoring campaign locations (collected 3x) Number of biweekly fixed site samples collected (2-7 fixed sites per city) * * *LA and NY include New Recruit areas of Coastal LA, Riverside, CA, and Rockland NY

  13. MESA Air Exposure Monitoring Concludes July 31, 2009 • Includes ancillary studies (HEI, Coarse*) • Exposure technicians in some sites being transferred to interview duties or other projects *with the possible exception of an additional month of Coarse monitoring in Chicago

  14. Exposure Modeling In Progress • First iteration (“pragmatic”) of spatio-temporal modeling estimates complete, incorporating AQS data, early MESA Air monitoring data, land use and certain GIS covariates • Infiltration modeling underway: first set of results available based on early data • Incorporation of time-location data underway: first set of personal-level estimates

  25. Interim analyses of exposure and health • Microvascular abnormalities (Adar et al.) • Left ventricular mass (Van Hee et al.) • Serum and plasma biomarkers of endothelial activation (Van Hee et al.) • Systemic vascular response (Krishnan et al.) • Quantitative markers of emphysema (Barr et al.)

  26. Health Model Building • Current focus on Agatston CAC • Model selection underway • Identification of confounders • Treatment of cross-sectional and longitudinal components • Coordinating with main MESA investigators

  27. Exam 5 • Air components included in proposed schedule • Working with Participant Relations Committee to ensure minimum participant burden • Electronic Data Capture

  28. Minimizing Participant (& Interviewer) Burden • Faster administration of Air Questionnaire with Electronic Data Capture • Include shortcuts, like allowing participant to state that their activity patterns don’t change by season • Reanalysis of actual time required for administration • Reiterate to interviewers primary importance of retaining participants • Review with interviewers the purpose of MESA Air, and provide a list of FAQs
