Background: China is at its most important stage of air pollution control. Research on the
association between air pollutants and human health is very important and necessary. The …

Epidemiological studies have shown that fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) has adverse
impacts on human health. However, limited studies have investigated the effects of short …

Several literatures have examined the risk of chronic respiratory diseases in association with
short-term ambient PM 2.5 exposure in China. However, little evidence has examined the …

Objectives We investigated the association between particulate matter less than 10 µm in
aerodynamic diameter (PM 10) exposure and non-accidental mortality in Asian populations …

Although studies have investigated the associations between PM 2.5 and mortality risk,
evidence from rural areas is scarce. We aimed to compare the PM 2.5-mortality associations …

The present study was planned to explore the pollution characteristics, health risks, and
influence of atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) and its components on blood …

Few cohort studies explored the associations of long-term exposure to ambient fine
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM 2.5) and its chemical …

Background Although the association between long-term exposure to PM 2.5 and mortality
has been evaluated intensively, little is known about the socioeconomic disparity in the …

Background The concentration-response relationship between mortality and long-term
exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) has not been fully elucidated, especially at high …

Background Limited evidence is available on the health effects of particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter of< 1 μm (PM 1), mainly due to the lack of its ground measurement …
