The Human Bone Marrow Response to Acute Air Pollution Caused by Forest Fires
Abstract
Atmospheric pollution increases cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality by unexplained mechanisms. Phagocytosis of fine particles (PM(10)) by rabbit alveolar macrophages elevates white blood cells (WBC) by releasing precursors from the bone marrow and this could contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiopulmonary disease. The present study examined the association between acute air pollution caused by biomass burning and peripheral WBC counts in humans. Serial measurements of the WBC count made during the 1997 Southeast Asian Smoke-haze (Sep 29, Oct 27) were compared with a period after the haze cleared (Nov 21, Dec 5) using peripheral blood PMN band cells to monitor marrow release. The results showed that indices of atmospheric pollution were significantly associated with elevated band neutrophil counts expressed as a percentage of total polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), with maximal association on zero and 1 lag day for PM(10) and 3, and 4 lag days for SO(2) (p value < 0.000). We conclude that atmospheric pollution caused by biomass burning is associated with elevated circulating band cell counts in humans because of the increased release of PMN precursors from the marrow. We speculate that this response contributes to the pathogenesis of the cardiorespiratory morbidity associated with acute air pollution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
