Background Air pollution by fine aerosol particles is among the leading causes of poor
health and premature mortality worldwide. The growing awareness of this issue has led …

Background Both short-and long-term exposures to fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μm; PM2.
5) are associated with mortality. However, whether the associations exist at levels below the …

Quantification of spatial and temporal variations in premature mortality attributable to PM 2.5
has important implications for air quality control in South and Southeast Asia (SSEA). The …

Although recent assessments have quantified the impact of ambient PM 2.5 on public health
in China, air quality managers would benefit from assessing specific differences in …

Multiple studies indicate that PM2. 5 is the most deleterious air pollutant for which there are
ambient air quality standards. Daily concentrations of PM2. 5 in Bangkok, Thailand …

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released new guidelines for outdoor fine
particulate air pollution (PM2. 5) recommending an annual average concentration of 5 …

The World Health Organization recently updated their air quality guideline for annual fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5) exposure from 10 to 5 μg m–3, citing global health …

Climate change modulates the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) via modifying
atmospheric circulation, temperature, and the hydrological cycle. Furthermore, PM 2.5 is …

Introduction Worldwide, air pollution has become a main environmental cause of premature
mortality. This burden is largely due to fine particles. Recent cohort studies have confirmed …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) poses a potential threat to human health, including
premature mortality under long-term exposure. Based on a long-term series of high …
