Chemical constituents of fine particulate air pollution and pulmonary function in healthy adults: The Healthy Volunteer Natural Relocation study.

Highlights: [•] Study subjects relocated between areas with different air pollution contents. [•] PM2.5 showed the most consistent inverse associations with pulmonary function. [•] Cu, Cd, As and Sn were consistently associated with reduced pulmonary function. [•] Carbonaceous fractions, SO4 2− and Sb were also associated with pulmonary function. [•] Sources may include traffic, industry, coal burning, and long range transported dust. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
