Abstract

Evidence for a role of long-term particulate matter exposure on acute respiratory infections is growing. However, which components of particulate matter may be causative remains largely unknown. We assessed associations between eight particulate matter elements and early-life pneumonia in seven birth cohort studies (N-total =15,980): BAMSE (Sweden), GASPII (Italy), GINIplus and LISAplus (Germany), INMA (Spain), MAAS (United Kingdom) and PIAMA (The Netherlands). Annual average exposure to copper, iron, potassium, nickel, sulfur, silicon, vanadium and zinc, each respectively derived from particles with aerodynamic diameters

Funding

This research received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Program (FP7/2007-2011): ESCAPE (grant agreement number: 211250) and TRANSPHORM (ENV.2009.1.2.2.1). The Swedish Research Council FORMAS, the Stockholm County Council, the Swedish Foundation for Health Care Sciences and Allergy Research, and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency supported BAMSE. The Italian Ministry of Health (ex art.12 D.Lgs 502/92, 2001) supported GASPII. The GINIplus study was supported for the first three years by grants of the Federal Ministry for Education, Science, Research and Technology (grant no. 01 EE 9401-4). The LISAplus study was supported by grants 01 EG 9732 and 01 EG 9705/2 from the Federal Ministry for Education, Science, Research and Technology, by the Federal Ministry for Environment (IUF, FKZ 20462296) and by the Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen, Munich Center of Health. The Netherlands Organization for Health Research and Development, The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, The Netherlands Asthma Fund, The Netherlands Ministry of Spatial Planning, Housing, and the Environment and The Netherlands Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport supported PIAMA. An Asthma UK Grant 04/014, the Moulton Charitable Trust, the James Trust and Microsoft Research supported MAAS. Grants from the Spanish Ministry of Health-Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Red INMA G03/176, CB06/02/0041, FISPI041436, FIS-PI081151, FIS-PI042018, FIS-PI09/02311, FIS-PI06/0867, FIS-PS09/00090, FIS-FEDER 03/1615, 04/1509, 04/1112, 04/1931, 05/1079, 05/1052, 06/1213, 07/0314, and 09/02647), Generalitat de Catalunya-CIRIT 1999SGR 00241, Conselleria de Sanitat Generalitat Valenciana, Universidad de Oviedo, Obra social Cajastur, Department of Health of the Basque Government (2005111093 and 2009111069), Provincial Government of Gipuzkoa (DFG06/004 and DFG08/001) and Fundacion Roger Tome supported INMA. The aforementioned funding sources had no involvement in the design of the study, collection, analysis and interpretation of data, writing of the report and decision to submit the article for publication.
