This study was undertaken to determine whether there was an association between fine
particle matter (PM2. 5) levels and daily outpatient department visits (OPD) for headaches in …

Objectives To investigate the association between living near dense traffic and lung function
in a cohort of adults from a single urban region. Design Cross-sectional results from a cohort …

Recent intervention studies targeted at reducing indoor air pollution have demonstrated both
the ability to improve respiratory health outcomes and to reduce particulate matter (PM) …

Background: Air pollution is linked to low lung function and to respiratory events, yet little is
known of associations with lung structure. Objectives: We examined associations of …

Background: While strong evidence exists for associations between fine particles (PM 2.5)
and health, less is known about whether associations differ by sex. Methods: We used …

We conducted a cost benefit analysis of residential building regulations on reducing the
exposure to outdoor PM 2.5 in Toronto. By combining a combined mass balanced model, a …

Indoor aerosol sources may significantly contribute to the daily dose of particles deposited
into the human respiratory system. Therefore, it is important to characterize the aerosols …

The atmospheric particulate matter with a diameter less than or equal to 2.5 um (PM2. 5) can
result in increased immune system damage or diseases, however, the possible mechanism …

Ozone-terpene reactions are important sources of indoor ultrafine particles (UFPs), a
potential health hazard for human beings. Humans themselves act as possible sites for …

Background and Aim Sparse evidence suggests a possible link between exposure to
airborne nanoparticles (NPs) and cardiovascular (CV) risk, perhaps through mechanisms …
