Effect of outdoor particulate air pollution on FEV<sub>1</sub>in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The effect of acute and long-term exposures to outdoor particulate air pollution on lung function in healthy adults is not well established. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of studies that assessed the relationship of outdoor particulate air pollution and lung function in healthy adults. Studies that contained data on outdoor air particulate matter levels (PM 10 or PM 2.5 ) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) in healthy adults were eligible for inclusion. Effect estimates, in relation to long-term and acute exposures, were quantified separately using random effects models. A total of 27 effect estimates from 23 studies were included in this review. Acute exposures were typically assessed with PM 2.5 , while long-term exposures were predominantly represented by PM 10 . A 10 µg/m3 increase in short-term PM 2.5 exposure (days) was associated with a −7.02 mL (95% CI −11.75 to –2.29) change in FEV 1 . A 10 µg/m 3 difference in long-term PM 10 exposure was associated with a −8.72 mL (95% CI −15.39 to –2.07) annual change in FEV 1 and an absolute difference in FEV 1 of −71.36 mL (95% CI −134.47 to –8.24). This study provides evidence that acute and long-term exposure to outdoor particulate air pollution are associated with decreased FEV 1 in healthy adults. Residual confounding from other risk factors, such as smoking, may explain some of the effect for long-term exposures. More studies are required to determine the relationship of long-term exposure to PM 2.5 and short-term exposure to PM 10 , which may have different biologic mechanisms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
