PM 2.5 aerosol samples were collected from January 2013 to January 2014 on the kerbside
of a major arterial route in the city of Oporto, Portugal, and later analyzed for carbonaceous …

We estimate the causal effects of acute fine particulate matter exposure on mortality, health
care use, and medical costs among the US elderly using Medicare data and a novel …

Background. Wildfires are anticipated to be more frequent and intense under climate
change. As a result, wildfires may emit more air pollutants that can harm health in …

The remote sensing of PM2. 5 (particulate matter concentration with aerodynamic diameter
d≤ 2.5 μm) mass concentration is mostly based on the measurements of AOD (aerosol …

Abstract Southern and Eastern European countries exceed WHO and EU air quality
standards very often, and are influenced by both local and external sources from Europe …

Background: Seasonal variation and regional heterogeneity have been observed in the
estimated effect of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) mass on mortality. Differences in the …

This study aims to simulate depositions of size-segregated particles in human airway in
Beijing, China during seasons when fine particulate matter concentrations are high …

Background The use of ambient air pollution data obtained from central air-monitoring
stations as surrogates for participants' exposures to outdoor air pollutants in previous studies …

Objectives: This paper reports on the findings of a population-based study to evaluate the
relationship between atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) levels and hospital …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to test the effects of a respiratory filter intervention
(filter) during controlled pollution exposure. Background: Air pollution is considered a risk …
