Objectives More than 90% of the global population live in areas exceeding the PM 2.5 air
quality guidelines (AQGs). We provide an overview of the ambient PM 2.5-related burden of …

Background Wood combustion emissions have been studied previously either by in vitro or
in vivo models using collected particles, yet most studies have neglected gaseous …

Ambient air pollution from ozone and fine particulate matter is associated with premature
mortality. As emissions from one continent influence air quality over others, changes in …

Exposure to NO 2 pollution has a significant adverse effect on residents' health. However,
few studies have assessed the health effects associated with NO 2 pollution. Compared with …

The global gasoline and diesel fuel vehicle fleets impose substantial impacts on air quality,
human health, and climate change. Here we quantify the global radiative forcing and human …

Breathing polluted air can cause severe health impacts, which might be irreversible in many
cases. However, these issues can be tackled with the existing and improving technologies …

Ambient inhalable particulate matter (PM) is a serious health concern worldwide, but
especially so in China where high PM concentrations affect huge populations. Atmospheric …

Recent developments in the field of low-cost sensors enable the design and implementation
of compact, inexpensive and portable sensing units for air pollution monitoring with fine …

Background Studies that seek to link the impact of ozone with mortality display a number of
uncertainties. This study sought to ascertain the functional relationship between ozone and …

Ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is a risk factor for respiratory diseases. Previous
studies suggest that PM 2.5 exposure may down-regulate airway antimicrobial proteins and …
