This sensor-based study investigated how the relationship between the personal exposure to various air pollutants and ambulatory blood pressure varied between participants, over time for a participant, and according to temperature. We found evidence that the association between the concentration of black carbon and systolic blood pressure tended to increase with outdoor temperature. Future research and prevention activity should pay attention to the stronger effect of black carbon on blood pressure at higher temperature levels, especially in the context of climate change.
