We review literature providing insights on health-related effects caused by inhalation of
ambient air particulate matter (PM) containing metals, emphasizing effects associated with in …

There is a general consensus in the scientific community that fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
composition plays a significant role in the health effects attributed to PM; indeed …

Researchers and regulators have often considered preferentially regulating the types of
ambient airborne particulate matter (PM) most relevant to human health effects. While few …

Particulate matter (PM*), an ambient air criteria pollutant, is a complex mixture of chemical
components; particle sizes range from nanometer-sized molecular clusters to dust particles …

While numerous studies have demonstrated that shortterm exposure to particulate matter
(PM*) is associated with adverse health effects, the characteristics of PM that cause harm …

Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with adverse health outcomes. There has
long been a question as to whether some components of the PM mixture are of greater …

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

Identifying the ambient particulate matter (PM) fractions or constituents, critically involved in
eliciting adverse health effects, is crucial to the implementation of more cost-efficient …

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 …

Recent investigations on PM2. 5 constituents' effects in community residents have
substantially enhanced our knowledge on the impacts of specific components, especially the …
