Results of recent research show that particulate matter (PM) composition and size vary
widely with both space and time. Despite the variability in PM characteristics, which are …

This article briefly summarizes the epidemiology of the health effects of fine particulate air
pollution, provides an early, somewhat speculative, discussion of the contribution of …

Exposure to particles emitted by cooking activities may be responsible for a variety of
respiratory health effects. However, the relationship between these exposures and their …

Cooking is a significant source of indoor particulate matter that can cause adverse health
effects. In this study, a 5-stage cascade impactor was used to collect particulate matter from …

The rapid increase of aerosols over the Indian Subcontinent over the last decade has the
potential for severe health implications. However, the lack of a dense network to measure …
