This study simulated the impacts of natural versus mechanical ventilation in offices on indoor
concentrations of key pollutants, as well as energy usage. A typical office building was …

Air pollution is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, particularly in
individuals with existing lung disease. Of the most common air pollutants, particulate matter …

The atmospheric particulate pollution in China is getting worse. Land-Use and Land-Cover
Change (LUCC) is a key factor that affects atmospheric particulate pollution. Understanding …

Given increasing healthcare costs and decreasing insurance reimbursements, healthcare
administrators are now assessing innovative opportunities for optimizing their medical …

Satellite-based remote sensing data have been widely used in estimating ground-level PM
2.5 concentrations as it can provide spatially detailed information. Most modern satellite …

Rationale: Fine particulate air pollution (PM2. 5; particulate matter 2.5 μm or less in
diameter) is thought to contribute to acute respiratory morbidity in part through oxidative …

Climate change can influence fine particulate matter concentrations (PM 2.5) through
changes in air pollution meteorology. Knowledge of the extent to which climate change can …

Background: Relationships between air quality and health are well-described, but little
information is available about the joint associations between particulate air pollution …

Previous studies have found strong associations between asthma morbidity and major
ambient air pollutants. Relatively little research has been conducted to assess whether age …

Although the mechanisms linking cardiopulmonary diseases to ambient fine particles (PM2.
5) are still unclear, inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in PM2. 5-induced …
