Pollution Diseases New Findings

Arterial and venous thrombosis share common risk factors (Lowe 2008). The role of air pollution exposure as a risk factor for arterial events now being beyond discussion, a few years ago, epidemiologists started investigating a possible association with venous thrombotic events. Thus, in 2008, Baccarelli et al. demonstrated a link between chronic exposure to elevated levels of air pollution and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) for the first time. To understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the observed link between air pollution and cardiovascular morbidity, one should take into account the complex interplay of prohemostatic and antihemostatic mechanisms, with different protagonists for the arterial and the venous vasculature. The human cardiovascular system consists of a functional vascular network for blood distribution, subdivided in a systemic and pulmonary circulatory system. The systemic circulation transports oxygenated blood through the arteries from the left heart to the organs and returns oxygen-depleted blood through the veins to the lungs. The pulmonary circulation subsequently transports the oxygen-depleted blood from the heart to the lungs, where it is oxygenated and returned to the heart.
