London Underground Study - Health Effects of Particulate Matter

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

An average of 4.8 million journeys are made on the London Underground every day and as the 'Tube' has elevated airborne particulate matter concentrations compared to ambient air, this raises concern about the potential health impact of this environment. This study explores the health effects of particulate matter from the London Underground on patients with COPD and healthy volunteers. Patients with COPD and healthy participants will be invited to undertake a set 90 min journey on the London Underground, and on a separate occasion (3-8 weeks apart), a 90 min journey on the London Overground (as a proxy for a clean air London area while maintaining other aspects of a train journey). A series of clinical, physiological and inflammatory data will be collected before, during and after (at different time points) each of the sessions in order to compare their response in relation to exposure and/or to disease status.
