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 …

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 …

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*), an ambient air criteria pollutant, is a complex mixture of chemical
components; particle sizes range from nanometer-sized molecular clusters to dust particles …

While most in the scientific community are of the opinion that the composition of fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) is an important driver of resultant health effects, there is still some …

There is a general consensus in the scientific community that fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
composition plays a significant role in the health effects attributed to PM; indeed …

The aim of this article is to review progress toward integration of toxicological and
epidemiological research results concerning the role of specific physicochemical properties …

Although the association between exposure to ambient fine particulate matter with
aerodynamic diameter< 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) and human mortality is well established, the most …

There is increasing interest in evaluating the association between specific fine-particle
(particles with aerodynamic diameters less than 2.5 µm; PM2. 5) constituents and adverse …

This article briefly reviews evidence of health effects associated with exposure to particulate
matter (PM) air pollution from five common outdoor emission sources: traffic, coal-fired …
