Traffic-related sources have been recognized as a significant contributor of particulate
matter particularly within major cities. Exhaust and non-exhaust traffic-related sources are …

Concern over the health effects of fine particles in the ambient environment led the US
Environmental Protection Agency to develop the first standard for PM 2.5 (particulate matter …

Background The link between PM 2.5 exposure and adverse health outcomes is well
documented from studies across the world. However, the reported effect estimates vary …

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

In this review, we elucidate the central role played by fossil fuel combustion in the health-
related effects that have been associated with inhalation of ambient fine particulate matter …

About 400,000 premature adult deaths attributable to air pollution occur each year in the
European Region. Road transport emissions account for a significant share of this burden …

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 …

This article briefly reviews evidence of health effects associated with exposure to particulate
matter (PM) air pollution from five common outdoor emission sources: traffic, coal-fired …

Background: Although ambient fine particulate matter (PM2. 5; particulate matter≤ 2.5 µm in
aerodynamic diameter) has been linked to adverse human health effects, the chemical …

Short-term exposure to fine particle mass (PM) has been associated with adverse health
effects, but little is known about the relative toxicity of particle components. We conducted a …
