Particulate air pollution (particles with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter of 10 µm (PM
10)) has strong associations with the adverse health events detected by epidemiological …

PM10 is the international convention for measuring environmental particulate air pollution.
Increases in PM10 have been linked to exacerbations of airways disease and deaths from …

High levels of particulate matter in ambient air are associated with increased respiratory and
cardiovascular health problems. It has been hypothesised that it is the ultrafine particle …

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence has implicated fine particulate air pollution,
particularly particles less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10), in the development of …

PM 10 contains an ultrafine component, which is generally derived from combustion
processes. This ultrafine fraction may be a factor in the increases in exacerbations of …

Background Particulate air pollution is reported to cause adverse health effects in
susceptible individuals. Since most of these particles are derived form combustion …

Ultrafine particles are a component of air pollution, derived from primary combustion
sources, and so we have undertaken a programme of study on the mechanisms of lung …

Epidemiological studies demonstrate associations between increasing levels of ambient
particles and morbidity in the elderly with cardiopulmonary disease. Such findings have …

Exposure to ambient air pollution particles (PM) has been associated with increased
cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality, particularly in individuals with pre-existing disease …

Abstract Introduction and Objectives: Recent epidemiological studies have shown an
association between increased particulate urban air pollution and adverse health effects on …
