Background Recent toxicological and epidemiological studies have shown associations
between particulate matter (PM) and adverse health effects, but which PM components are …

Background Although numerous studies have demonstrated links between particulate
matter (PM) and adverse health effects, the chemical components of the PM mixture that …

Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that relative risks for mortality associated with
ambient particulate matter (PM) concentrations vary with location in the US with larger …

Several studies conducted in US cities report an association between acute exposures to
particulate matter (PM), usually measured as PM10, and mortality. Evidence of high …

Background: In air pollution time-series studies, the temporal pattern of the association of
fine particulate matter (PM2. 5; particulate matter≤ 2.5 µm in aerodynamic diameter) and …

Consistent evidence has shown a positive association between particulate matter with an
aerodiameter of less than or equal to 10 μm (PM10) and daily mortality. Less is known about …

Few, if any, published time series studies have evaluated the effects of particulate matter air
exposures by combining hospital admissions with medical visit data for smaller populations …

Several recent studies have reported statistically significant and quantitatively similar
associations between daily mortality and PM-10 or total suspended particulates (TSP) …

Objectives: This paper sought to quantify the particulate matter (PM2. 5) pollutant's impact on
short-term daily respiratory-cause mortality in the city of Madrid. Methods: As our dependent …

Chronic exposure to particulates has been associated with increased rates of bronchitis and
other respiratory ailments, with loss of lung function, and with increased risk of lung cancer …
