The mass concentration of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) has been systematically
used in epidemiological studies as an indicator of exposure to air pollutants, connecting PM …

OBJECTIVE Association between particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters≤ 2.5 μm
(PM2. 5) components and diabetes remains unclear. We therefore aimed to investigate the …

There is a large body of community-level epidemiologic evidence showing positive
associations between increases in morbidity and mortality from respiratory and …

Background Ambient particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 µm (PM 2.5)
consists of various toxic constituents. However, the health effect of PM 2.5 may differ …

Background Evidence on the associations of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) constituents
and glucose metabolism is limited in resource-limited areas. This study aimed to explore the …

Fine and coarse air pollution particles signal macrophage activation via differential
utilization of Toll-like receptors (TLR) 2 and TLR4 but shared use of the MyD88 signaling …

Background Associations between long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM)
and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality have been widely recognized. However, health effects of …

Background: Exposure-response information about particulate air-pollution constituents is
needed to protect sensitive populations. Particulate matter< 2.5 mm (PM 2.5) components …

Air pollution exposures are linked to cognitive and olfaction deficits, oxidative stress,
neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration including frontal hyperphosphorylated tau and …

Continuous exposure to coal mining particles can cause a variety of lung diseases. We
aimed to evaluate the outcomes of exposure to detailed characterized coal and coal fly ash …
