In-Depth Information
Indicators of cardiovascular effects such as changes in heart rate, body temperature,
and frequency/intensity of arrhythmias were also measured in a smaller number
of the studies.
The in vivo studies are grouped by the predominate source of the PM metals used
for exposure: ambient PM samples, CAPs, ROFA and individual metals. Within a
given study, multiple sources of PM metals may have been used for comparisons,
thus these groupings are not mutually exclusive. Tables 6 and 7 present the concen-
trations of individual metals in the sources of PM or ROFA, respectively, in
g/g of
particulate mass. Where suffi cient information was available, we made a rough com-
parison of the dose levels used in the animal studies to the dose of the same metals
that a member of the general U.S. population would receive from inhaling the aver-
