Background Due to the adverse health effects of air pollution, researchers have advocated
for personal exposure measurements whereby individuals carry portable monitors in order …

Personal monitoring for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) was conducted for adults (48
subjects, 18–63 years of age) in Hong Kong during the summer and winter of 2014–2015 …

The health impacts associated with exposure to elevated concentrations of fine particulate
matter (PM2. 5) are well recognised. There is a substantial number of studies characterising …

Personal exposure to particulate matter (PM) from anthropogenic activities is a major
concern in African countries, including Mali. However, knowledge of particulates is scant …

Air pollution exposure and places where the exposures occur may differ in cities in the
developing world compared with high-income countries. Our aim was to measure personal …

Background To mitigate air pollution-related health risks and target interventions towards the
populations bearing the greatest risks, the City Health Outlook (CHO) project aims to …

Abstract Ambient fine particulate (PM 2.5) pollution threatens public health. Previous studies
have primarily focused on PM 2.5 estimation, with the quantitative analysis of public …

Background: Growing evidence indicates that toxicity of fine particulate matter≤ 2.5 μm in
diameter (PM2. 5) differs by chemical component. Exposure to components may differ by …

Epidemiological studies have linked outdoor PM 2.5 concentrations to a range of health
effects, although people spend most of the time indoors. To better understand how …

Introduction Use of polluting cooking fuels generates household air pollution (HAP)
containing health-damaging levels of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). Many global …
