The environmental and health impacts from the massive discharge of chemicals and
subsequent pollution have been gaining increasing public concern. The unintended …

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 …

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. We instrument for …

The aerosol products retrieved using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) collection 5.1 Deep Blue algorithm have provided useful information about aerosol …

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 …

We study the effect of outdoor air pollution on the productivity of indoor workers at a pear-
packing factory. Increases in fine particulate matter (PM2. 5), a pollutant that readily …

In 2004, the first American Heart Association scientific statement on “Air Pollution and
Cardiovascular Disease” concluded that exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution …

Background Exposure to fine-particulate air pollution has been associated with increased
morbidity and mortality, suggesting that sustained reductions in pollution exposure should …

FEF25–75, forced expiratory flow at 25–75% of vital capacity; FEV1, forced expiratory
volume in 1 second; FMD, flow-mediated dilatation; FVC, forced vital capacity; GIS …

Accumulating evidence suggests that outdoor air pollution may have a significant impact on
central nervous system (CNS) health and disease. To address this issue, the National …
