Efforts to understand and mitigate the health effects of particulate matter (PM) air pollution
have a rich and interesting history. This review focuses on six substantial lines of research …

The health effects of air pollution have been subject to intense study in recent years.
Exposure to pollutants such as airborne participate matter and ozone has been associated …

Although the existing studies have paid much attention to the issue on the impacts of air
pollution on public health, they fail to consider the spatial spillover effect and externality of …

The phytotoxicity of alumina nanoparticles loaded with and without phenanthrene (Phen)
was investigated by means of root elongation (RE) experiments in this study. Five plant …

The effects of both ambient air pollution and socioeconomic position (SEP) on health are
well documented. A limited number of recent studies suggest that SEP may itself play a role …

Environmental pollution in the era of sustained economic development is an inevitable
occurrence. However, the rising levels of pollutant emissions hamper air quality, hence …

Both the prevalence and severity of respiratory allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma
have increased in recent years. Among the factors implicated in this “epidemic” are indoor …

Inhaled diesel exhaust particles (DEP) exert proinflammatory effects in the respiratory tract.
This effect is related to the particle content of redox cycling chemicals and is involved in the …

In a time series study, air pollution was associated with specific cardiovascular causes of
death. Deaths due to heart failure (ICD-9 428), arrhythmia (ICD-9 427), cerebrovascular …

We are interested in the cytotoxic and proinflammatory effects of particulate pollutants in the
respiratory tract. We demonstrate that methanol extracts made from diesel exhaust particles …
