Epidemiological methods provide opportunities to study interactions of pollutants in complex environments. During the study of health and the environment and the evaluation of particulate matter in Tucson, we found that type, location, and temporality of particulate matter exposures were critical with respect to the various interactions that related to health effects. Indoor particulate matter interacted with other components of particulate matter found in tobacco smoke, as evidenced by lung function. The interaction of environmental tobacco smoke with indoor formaldehyde caused various symptoms. Other interactions occurred between indoor and outdoor forms of particulate matter, which caused symptoms in some of the subjects.
流行病学方法为研究复杂环境中污染物的相互作用提供了机会。在图森市对健康与环境以及颗粒物评估的研究过程中，我们发现颗粒物暴露的类型、位置和时间性对于与健康影响相关的各种相互作用至关重要。室内颗粒物与烟草烟雾中发现的其他颗粒物成分相互作用，肺功能情况就是明证。环境烟草烟雾与室内甲醛的相互作用引发了各种症状。室内和室外形式的颗粒物之间也发生了其他相互作用，致使部分受试者出现症状。
