death in the world today. Diseases caused by pollution were responsible for an estimated 9 …

Air pollution is a complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components, each of which has
detrimental effects on human health. While the composition of air pollution varies greatly …

Annual global satellite-based estimates of fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) are widely relied
upon for air-quality assessment. Here, we develop and apply a methodology for monthly …

Background With much of the world's population residing in urban areas, an understanding
of air pollution exposures at the city level can inform mitigation approaches. Previous studies …

The burning of fossil fuels–especially coal, petrol, and diesel–is a major source of airborne
