Epidemiological research has taught us a great deal about the health effects of airborne
particulate matter (PM), particularly cardiorespiratory effects of combustion-related particles …

Results from epidemiology studies have shown statistical associations between ambient air
particulate matter (PM) concentrations and mortality/morbidity, particularly among …

Researchers and regulators have often considered preferentially regulating the types of
ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) most relevant to human health effects. While few …

Particulate matter (PM) is a complex, heterogeneous mixture that changes in time and
space. It encompasses many different chemical components and physical characteristics …

Particulate matter (PM) is regulated in various parts of the world based on specific size cut
offs, often expressed as 10 or 2.5 µm mass median aerodynamic diameter. This pollutant is …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with adverse health outcomes. There has
long been a question as to whether some components of the PM mixture are of greater …

Identifying the ambient particulate matter (PM) fractions or constituents, critically involved in
eliciting adverse health effects, is crucial to the implementation of more cost-efficient …

The public has long been aware that particulate matter (PM) can be deleterious to health,
between inhalation of (tobacco) smoke and “dusty” roadways. Yet establishing what PM …

Efforts to understand and mitigate the health effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollution
have a rich and interesting history. This review focuses on six substantial lines of research …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) is a pollutant of concern not only because of its adverse
effects on human health but because of its ability to reduce visibility and soil buildings and …
