Most research is devoted understanding factors which increase disease risk. Here we specifically seek to find individuals who are healthy despite exposure to high levels of environmental pollutants, e.g. living in areas with elevated air pollution, and examine the lifestyle factors which may be protective. Protective lifestyle factors may be modifiable by the individual and may represent a means to improve environmental public health in the USA.
