Potential adverse health effects of wood smoke.
Pierson, W E, Koenig, J Q, Bardana, E J
The use of wood stoves has increased greatly in the past decade, causing concern in many communities about the health effects of wood smoke. Wood smoke is known to contain such compounds as carbon...
Yu, O, Sheppard, L, Lumley, T, Koenig, J Q, Shapiro, G G
We observed a panel of 133 children (5-13 years of age) with asthma residing in the greater Seattle, Washington, area for an average of 58 days (range 28-112 days) during screening for enrollment in...
Measurement of offline exhaled nitric oxide in a study of community exposure to air pollution.
Koenig, J Q, Jansen, K, Mar, T F, Lumley, T, Kaufman, J, Trenga, C A, ...
As part of a large panel study in Seattle, Washington, we measured levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) in children's homes and fixed-site particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of 2.5 micro m...
Leung, R, Koenig, J Q, Simcox, N, Van Belle, G, Fenske, R, Gilbert, S G
This study examined behavioral changes in households after participation in a home environmental assessment. Home assessment visits by a trained coach, which involved a walk-through in the home with...
Effect of ozone on respiratory responses in subjects with asthma.
In the process of understanding the respiratory effects of individual air pollutants, it is useful to consider which populations seem to be most susceptible to the exposures. Ozone is the most...
Norris, G, YoungPong, S N, Koenig, J Q, Larson, T V, Sheppard, L, Stout, J W
Asthma is the most common chronic illness of childhood and its prevalence is increasing, causing much concern for identification of risk factors such as air pollution. We previously conducted a study...
Effects of inhalation of acidic compounds on pulmonary function in allergic adolescent subjects.
Koenig, J Q, Covert, D S, Pierson, W E
There is concern about the human health effects of inhalation of acid compounds found in urban air pollution. It was the purpose of this study to investigate three of these acid compounds, sulfur...
Associations between air pollution and mortality in Phoenix, 1995-1997.
Mar, T F, Norris, G A, Koenig, J Q, Larson, T V
We evaluated the association between mortality outcomes in elderly individuals and particulate matter (PM) of varying aerodynamic diameters (in micrometers) [PM(10), PM(2.5), and PM(CF )(PM(10) minus...

Sulphur dioxide sensitivity and plasma antioxidants in adult subjects with asthma
Trenga, C. A., Koenig, J. Q., Williams, P. V.
OBJECTIVES: To screen adult subjects with asthma for sensitivity to inhaled sulphur dioxide (SO2) and identify subject characteristics associated with that sensitivity. Medication use, symptoms, and...
