Epidemiologic studies have reported associations between fine particulate air pollution,
especially particles less than 10 mm in diameter (PM10), and the development of …

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

Publisher Summary This chapter addresses issues in relation to the adverse health effects of
PM 10 (mass of particulate air pollution). Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a clear …

Air pollution is an important cause of non-communicable diseases globally with particulate
matter (PM) as one of the main air pollutants. PM is composed of microscopic particles that …

PM10, the commonly used indicator of respirable environmental suspended particulate
matter with a mean aerodynamic diameter of less than 10 μm, is composed of organic or …

Elevated levels of ambient particulate matter (PM10) have been associated with increased
cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. We previously showed that the deposition of …

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 …

Epidemiologic and animal studies have shown that exposure to particulate matter air
pollution (PM) is a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Whether PM-induced …

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of short-term exposure to concentrated
ambient particles (CAPs*) on lung function and on inflammatory parameters in blood and …

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