Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2014 15:27:15 -0800 Subject: carpa -- Presentation on Wildfire PM Exposure From: jjmccorm@arb.ca.gov Persistent Immune Effects of Wildfire PM Exposure During Childhood Development. Lisa Miller, Ph.D., School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis http://www.arb.ca.gov/research/seminars/seminars.htm January 7th 10:00 AM-12 noon Deborah Drechsler, contract manager Peter Mathews, series contact ABSTRACT: During July 2008 a series of wildfires ignited in Northern California, leading to high PM2.5 levels in the Sacramento Valley that lasted for about two weeks. The California National Primate Center, at UC Davis, has a large population of rhesus macaque monkeys that live in outdoor field cages, where they were exposed to these elevated air pollution levels. The fires occurred near the end of the season when the monkey's babies are typically born, and thus there were a significant number of animals in the colony that were between one and three months of age at the time of the fires. Infancy may be associated with increased vulnerability to high levels of air pollution exposure because of the rapid lung and immune system development that occur during the early months of life. Several studies suggest that short-term exposure to wildfire emissions (over a few days) can worsen symptoms of asthma and other lung diseases, but no studies have investigated whether there are long-term health consequences to such exposures. To address gaps in our understanding of the biologic effects of air pollutant exposure during early life, the investigators compared the levels of immune system activation in smoke exposed animals, and in a group of animals born during the same months the following year during which there were no wildfires. Both groups of animals also completed a series of lung function tests. All animals were studied when they were three years of age (young adulthood). No animals were harmed in any way during the study. The results showed lower levels of markers of immune system activation in smoke exposed animals compared to control animals, suggesting that these animals are more susceptible to infectious diseases. Animals that had the most impaired response to bacterial challenge tended to also have reductions in several measures of lung function, particularly female animals. These results suggest that infancy is a period during which high PM2.5 exposures may adversely influence development of the branch of the immune system that combats infectious disease, and also adversely affects the development of lung function, leading to changes that persist into adulthood. ====================================================================== You are subscribed to the carpa mailing list.

The purpose of this dialogue is to provide an opportunity for open, interactive discussions with staff and between attendees. Materials, including an agenda, will be posted on the Sustainable Freight Transport Initiative website at: http://www.arb.ca.gov/gmp/sfti/sfti.htm no later than May 1, 2014. The forum will be held at the following time and place: Date: Monday, May 5, 2014 Time: 10:00 am to 3:00 pm Place: Cal/EPA Headquarters Building Coastal and Sierra Hearing Rooms, 2nd Floor 1001 I Street Sacramento, California 95814 Background California’s freight transportation system is a multi-modal system designed to move freight across the State, the nation, and the globe. The freight system is a critical part of our economy and a significant contributor to our air quality concerns. The collective efforts of impacted communities, the logistics industry, air quality agencies, and the ports have yielded significant progress in reducing the air pollution impacts from the movement of freight or goods. On January 23, 2014, the Board adopted resolution 14-2, which directed staff to engage all interested stakeholders to provide input on the development of a Strategy document by the end of 2014. The purpose of the Strategy is to identify and prioritize actions that move California towards a sustainable freight transport system that is characterized by improved efficiency and zero or near-zero emissions. If you have questions regarding the forum, please contact Ms. Lea Yamashita, Air Pollution Specialist, at (916) 323-0017 or lyamashi@arb.ca.gov.
