Particulate matter (PM) emitted by human activities presents a significant risk for human
health, especially through inhalation. In this work, coarse and ultrafine particles (PM 10 and …

Particle-bound pollutants are a critical risk factor for human respiratory/cardiovascular
conditions. A comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical characteristics of PM is often …

To better understand the potential environmental and human health impacts of fine airborne
particulate matter (APM), detailed physical and chemical characterisation is required. The …

In the last years, many studies have focused on risk assessment of exposure of workers to
airborne particulate matter (PM). Several studies indicate a strong correlation between PM …

recently reported results of applying factor analysis to data taken in six cities from 1979 to
1988, identifying airborne particle sources potentially affecting daily mortality. These authors …

Airborne particles have been associated with a range of adverse cardiopulmonary
outcomes, which has driven its monitoring at stationary central sites throughout the world …

The estimated health impacts and associated economic costs resulting from airborne
particulate matter are substantial. Exposure to airborne fine particles ranks highly amongst …

The effects of particulate matter on the environment and public health were widely studied in
recent years but agreement amongst these studies on the relative importance of the particle …
