Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution and a significant risk factor for
adverse health outcomes in humans. PM is not a self-contained pollutant but a mixture of …

Air pollution has been considered a hazard to human health. In the past decades, many
studies highlighted the role of ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) as an important …

Results of recent research show that particulate matter (PM) composition and size vary
widely with both space and time. Despite the variability in PM characteristics, which are …

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 …

Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution brought into the air by a variety of
natural and human activities. As it can be suspended over long time and travel over long …

Researchers have been studying the respiratory health effects of ambient air pollution for
more than 70 years. While air pollution as a whole can include gaseous, solid, and liquid …

Air pollution is now fully acknowledged to be a public health problem and a social issue.
Particulate matter (PM) concentration has been linked with several clinical manifestations of …

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 …

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 …

The burden that has been placed on human health by particulate air pollution is a global
one, one wrought with inequality. Most striking is the imbalance between the developed and …
