Epidemiological findings concerning the seasonal variation in the acute effect of particulate
matter (PM) are inconsistent. We investigated the seasonality in the association between PM …

Compared with daily mean concentration of air pollution, hourly peak concentration may be
more directly relevant to the acute health effects due to the high concentration levels …

China is one of the few countries with some of the highest particulate matter levels in the
world. However, only a small number of particulate matter health studies have been …

The constituents and concentrations of pollutants, individual exposures, and biologic
responses to air pollution may vary by season and meteorological conditions. However …

Few epidemiological studies have reported the spatial characteristics of the association
between particulate matter< 10μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) and mortality in China …

Ambient particulate matter (PM) has been mainly linked with mortality and morbidity when
assessing PM-associated health effects. Up-to-date epidemiologic evidence is very sparse …

In Asia, limited literature has been published on the association between daily mortality and
ambient air pollution. We examined the associations of daily cause-specific mortality with …

BACKGROUND: Both temperature and particulate air pollution are associated with
increased death risk. However, whether the effect of particulate air pollution on mortality is …

Evidence concerning the health risk of fine and coarse particles is limited in developing
Asian countries. The modifying effect between particles and temperature and season also …

To assess differences in the lag-effect pattern in the relationship between particulate matter
less than 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM 10) and cause-specific mortality in Seoul …
