Elevated levels of ambient particulate matter (PM10) have been associated with increased
cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. We previously showed that the deposition of …

Recent epidemiological studies associate health effects and particulate matter in ambient
air. Exacerbation of the particle-induced inflammation can be a mechanism responsible for …

Air pollutants include toxic particles and gases emitted in large quantities from many
different combustible materials. They also include particulate matter (PM) and ozone, and …

Air pollution is a heterogeneous mixture of gases, liquids and PM (particulate matter). In the
modern urban world, PM is principally derived from fossil fuel combustion with individual …

Air pollution is a world public health problem. Particulate matter (PM), a mix of solid and
liquid particles in the air, becomes an increasing concern in the social and economic …

Particulate matter (PM) is suspended dust that has a diameter of< 10 µm and can be inhaled
by humans and deposited in the lungs, particularly the alveoli. Recent studies have shown …

Background: Specific characteristics of particulate matter (PM) responsible for associations
with respiratory health observed in epidemiological studies are not well established. High …

Air Pollution has been associated with significant adverse health effects leading to
increased morbidity and mortality. Cumulative epidemiological and experimental data have …

Particulate matter (PM), which is the primary contributor to air pollution, has become a
pervasive global health threat. When PM enters into a respiratory tract, the first body tissues …

Epidemiological studies show heterogeneities in the particulate pollution-related exposure–
effect relationships among cardiorespiratory patients, but the connection to chemical …
