The mass concentration of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) has been systematically
used in epidemiological studies as an indicator of exposure to air pollutants, connecting PM …

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies
have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with …

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 …

Large-scale epidemiological studies have shown a close correlation between adverse
human health effects and exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM). The oxidative …

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 …

An emerging hypothesis in the field of air pollution is that oxidative stress is one of the
important pathways leading to adverse health effects of airborne particulate matter (PM). To …

Results from epidemiology studies have shown statistical associations between ambient air
particulate matter (PM) concentrations and mortality/morbidity, particularly among …

Particulate matter (PM) is a complex, heterogeneous mixture that changes in time and
space. It encompasses many different chemical components and physical characteristics …

Particulate matter (PM), an ambient air criteria pollutant, is a complex mixture of chemical
agents in particles ranging from nanometer-sized molecular clusters to dust particles too …

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