As new scientific evidence on health effects of air pollution is generated, air quality
guidelines need to be periodically updated. The objective of this review is to support the …

The impacts of air pollution on public health have become a great concern worldwide.
Ambient particulate matter (PM) is a major air pollution that comprises a heterogeneous …

The complexity and dynamics of the environment make it extremely difficult to directly predict
and trace the temporal and spatial changes in pollution. In the past decade, the …

Highlights•Spatio-temporal patterns of all diseases burden attributed to ambient PM2. 5
were assessed worldwide.•The global age-standardized burden rate showed little change …

Background: Few studies have investigated air pollution exposure disparities by
race/ethnicity and income across criteria air pollutants, locations, or time. Objective: The …

Various approaches have been proposed to model PM 2.5 in the recent decade, with
satellite-derived aerosol optical depth, land-use variables, chemical transport model …

Background The novel human coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has
claimed more than 600,000 lives worldwide, causing tremendous public health, social, and …

Much of the key epidemiological evidence that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter
air pollution (PM 2.5) contributes to increased risk of mortality comes from survival studies of …

Background Studies have shown that long-term exposure to air pollution increases mortality.
However, evidence is limited for air-pollution levels below the most recent National Ambient …

Poor air quality is globally the largest environmental health risk. Epidemiological studies
have uncovered clear relationships of gaseous pollutants and particulate matter (PM) with …
