Background: Household air pollution (HAP) from residential combustion considerably affects human health in rural China. Large-scale population migration and rural lifestyle changes during the Spring Festival are supposed to change the household air pollution and health risks; however, limited field study has determined its impacts on HAP and short-term health outcomes.Methods: A field study was conducted in rural areas of Southern China before and during the Spring Festival to explore the associations between HAP and blood pressure considering different factors such as cooking fuel, heating fuel, and smoking.Stationary real-time PM 2.5 monitors were used to measure PM 2.5 concentrations of the kitchen, living room, and yard of 156 randomly selected households. Personal exposure to PM 2.5 was calculated based on the results of stationary samplers and corresponding time local residents spent in different microenvironments, and one adult resident was recruited of each family for the blood pressure measurement.Results: Both personal exposure to PM 2.5 and blood pressures of local residents increased during Spring Festival compared to the days before the holiday. Based on generalized linear model coupled with dominance analysis approach, it was found that personal PM 2.5 exposure was positively associated with the factors of population size and the types of cooking and heating fuels with the relative contributions of approximately 82%, and systolic blood pressure (SBP, 100-120 mmHg as normal range for adults) was positively and significantly associated with personal PM 2.5 exposures with the relative contribution of 11%. Conclusion:The findings in this study demonstrated that Spring Festival can give rise to increase of HAP and hypertension risks, also related to tremendous solid fuel use, suggesting further policy making on promoting cleaner energy in rural areas and more attention on large population migration during national holidays.

“…A meta-analysis by Amiri et al [38] found that odds of the hypertension would increase as 0.08% by increase of each unit in As concentration in drinking water. The studies concentrated on biomarkers of As exposure such as in urine [39][40][41][42], blood [43], hair [44] or nail [45] were limited, and the results were inconsistent. Three studies performed in China, including Zhong et al [42] (urinary As GM: 75.84 μg/g creatinine), Shi et al [41] (urinary As GM: 33.35 μg/L in non-hypertension subjects, 39.86 μg/L in hypertension subjects) and Li et al (urinary As GM: 135.59 μg/g creatinine in nonhypertension subjects, 178.33 μg/g creatinine in hypertension subjects), have reported high urinary As levels, which was positively associated with prevalence of hypertension.…”

Background:Asian Americans have been reported having higher arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) levels, comparing with non-Asian Americans. Exposure to these metals/metalloids have been associated with risk of hypertension, however, limited studies have explored the associations of As, Pb, Cd and Hg levels with hypertension among general Asian Americans. This study aimed to investigate the associations of As, Pb, Cd and Hg levels with blood pressure and prevalence of hypertension among Asian Americans who participated in the 2011-2016 National Health and Nutrition and Examination Survey (NHANES).Methods:The study included participants aged 20 years and older with determinations of As, Pb, Cd and Hg in blood (n=7913) and urine (n=3954). These metals levels were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels were examined through a standardized protocol. Censored normal regression model and logistic regression model were employed to explore the associations of As, Pb, Cd and Hg levels with blood pressure levels and hypertension respectively, and potential confounders were also adjusted in these regression models.Results:In multivariable-adjusted models, blood Hg levels were associated with increased SBP (tertile 2 vs. tertile 1: β=-0.9 mmHg, 95%CI:-6.1, 4.4; tertile 3 vs. tertile 1: β=5.6, 95%CI: 0.0, 11.2; P trend=0.003), DBP level (tertile 2 vs. tertile 1: β=4.1 mmHg, 95% CI: 0.1, 8.1; tertile 3 vs. tertile 1: β=5.8 mmHg, 95% CI: 1.9, 9.7; P trend=0.003) and prevalence of hypertension (tertile 2 vs. tertile 1: OR=1.2, 95% CI: 0.4, 3.4; tertile 3 vs. tertile 1: OR=2.8, 95% CI: 1.1, 7.3; P trend=0.001) among Asian Americans. The positive associations were also found between blood methyl-Hg level and blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension, whereas we did not identify significant associations of As, Pb and Cd levels in blood and urine with blood pressure levels and hypertension among Asian Americans. Conclusions:Highly exposed to Hg level among Asian Americans might associated with increased blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension. Further prospective studies with larger sample size should be performed to warrant the results.

Recent epidemiological studies have reported adverse health effects, including skin cancer, due to low concentrations of arsenic via drinking water. We conducted a study to assess whether low arsenic contaminated ground water affected health of the residents who consumed it. For precise biomonitoring results, the inorganic (trivalent arsenite (As III) and pentavalent arsenate (As V)) and organic forms (monomethylarsonate (MMA) and dimethylarsinate (DMA)) of arsenic were separately quantified by combining high-performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy from urine samples. In conclusion, urinary As III, As V, MMA, and hair arsenic concentrations were significantly higher in residents who consumed arsenic contaminated ground water than control participants who consumed tap water. But, most health screening results did not show a statistically significant difference between exposed and control subjects. We presume that the elevated arsenic concentrations may not be sufficient to cause detectable health effects. Consumption of arsenic contaminated ground water could result in elevated urinary organic and inorganic arsenic concentrations. We recommend immediate discontinuation of ground water supply in this area for the safety of the residents.
