Background and Purpose—Stroke mortality has been declining since the early 20th century.
The reasons for this are not completely understood, although the decline is welcome. As a …

Abstract The World Health Organization estimates that particulate matter (PM) air pollution
contributes to approximately 800,000 premature deaths each year, ranking it the 13th …

Particulate matter (PM) is a complex, heterogeneous mixture that changes in time and
space. It encompasses many different chemical components and physical characteristics …

Background Both short-and long-term exposures to fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μm; PM2.
5) are associated with mortality. However, whether the associations exist at levels below the …

Background Long-term exposure to fine particles (particulate matter≤ 2.5 μm; PM2. 5) has
been consistently linked to heart and lung disease. Recently, there has been increased …

Wildfire can impose a direct impact on human health under climate change. While the
potential impacts of climate change on wildfires and resulting air pollution have been …

There is considerable epidemiological evidence indicating that air pollution has adverse
effects on human health and is closely related to respiratory diseases, including chronic …

This article devises a photograph-based monitoring model to estimate the real-time PM 2.5
concentrations, overcoming currently popular electrochemical sensor-based PM 2.5 …

Although it is well accepted that air pollution exposure exacerbates preexisting airway
disease, it has not been firmly established that long-term pollution exposure increases the …

Efficient removal of particulate matter (PM) is the major goal for various air cleaning
technologies due to its huge impact on human health. Here, a washable high‐efficiency …
