This research presentation describes a mobile air monitoring study conducted in Seattle to measure ultrafine particulate matter and black carbon pollution levels for elderly residents participating in the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) study, which investigates aging and dementia. Researchers used a vehicle-mounted monitoring system to collect repeated short-term air quality samples across the Seattle area, aiming to estimate long-term pollution exposure for cohort participants aged 65 and older. The study is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Institute on Aging.

Notes

Presentation by Magali Blanco, PhD (University of Washington Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences) on ultrafine particulate matter (UFP) and black carbon (BC) exposure characterization for the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT) Seattle-based elderly cohort using a mobile monitoring campaign. Funded by NIEHS and National Institute on Aging (R01ES026187). Co-authors include Amanda Gassett, Timothy Gould, Annie Doubleday, David L. Slager, Elena Austin, Edmund Seto, Timothy Larson, Julian D. Marshall, and Lianne Sheppard. Covers mobile monitoring methodology, repeated short-term sampling to estimate long-term averages, spatial coverage of Seattle-area residences, and air pollution exposure assessment related to dementia incidence research.
