Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is a heterogeneous material. Though regulated as un-
speciated mass, it exerts most effects on vegetation and ecosystems by virtue of the mass …

Atmospheric particulate matter is a mixture of diverse elements. Deposition of particulate
matter to vegetated surfaces depends on the size distribution of these particles and, to a …

Particulate matter (PM) is both a major driver of climate change and a source of toxicity for
health. In the upper atmosphere, particulate matter modifies the earth radiation budget …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the mechanisms responsible for the transfer
of atmospheric particulate deposition and soil particulate re-suspension onto vegetation …

Particles have been a recognized ingredient in polluted air for decades if not centuries.
Despite the fact that their atmospheric concentrations have decreased substantially in …

Air pollution causes the largest death toll among environmental risks globally, but
interventions to purify ambient air remain inadequate. Vegetation and green spaces have …

Whilst epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated adverse effects of particulate
matter exposure on human health, the mechanism of effect is currently unclear. One of the …

Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution brought into the air by a variety of
natural and human activities. As it can be suspended over long time and travel over long …

Seasonal allergies and microbial mediated respiratory diseases, can coincide with elevated
particulate matter concentrations, often when dry desert soils are disturbed. In addition to …

Historical land use and land cover change (referred to herein as “land use change”) has
dramatically altered the Earth's landscape, perturbing energy, moisture, and chemical fluxes …
