Epidemiological evidence suggests that exposure to particulate air pollution affects the microvasculature, a proposed underlying mechanism to the established association between particulate air pollution exposure and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. So far, no studies have investigated the effect of early life exposures on the ...
