There is an absence of studies that define the relationship between ambient particulate
matter (PM) levels and adverse health outcomes among the young and healthy adult sub …

Since the year 2000, evaluation of the impact of air pollution on people's health has drawn
the attention of the general public and has led decision-makers to develop specific health …

Numerous studies have reported weak but statistically significant acute health effects of
particulate air pollution. The associations are observed at levels below the current US …

In this article we present results from a 2-year comprehensive exposure assessment study
that examined the particulate matter (PM) exposures and health effects in 108 individuals …

Many epidemiological studies provide evidence of an association between airborne
particles, measured as PM10 (particulate matter less than 10 μm in diameter), and daily …

In recent years, many air quality monitoring programs have favored measurement of
particles less than 2.5 µm (PM2. 5) over particles less than 10 µm (PM10) in light of evidence …

While numerous studies have demonstrated that shortterm exposure to particulate matter
(PM*) is associated with adverse health effects, the characteristics of PM that cause harm …

Epidemiological studies have generally found fine particle metrics such as PM2. 5 (PM mass
less than 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) to be more strongly related to adverse health …

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 …

Background: Data from a previous study conducted in Baltimore, MD, showed that ambient
fine particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM 2.5) concentrations were strongly …
