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 …

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 …

Air pollution epidemiologic studies use ambient pollutant concentrations as surrogates of
personal exposure. Strong correlations among numerous ambient pollutant concentrations …

Studies of the health impacts of airborne particulates' chemical constituents typically assume
spatial homogeneity and estimate exposure from ambient monitors. However, factors such …

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 …

Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) air pollution exposure is the largest environmental health
risk factor in the United States. Here, we link PM2. 5 exposure to the human activities …

Objectives. To quantify nationwide disparities in the location of particulate matter (PM)-
emitting facilities by the characteristics of the surrounding residential population and to …

Background Although numerous studies have demonstrated links between particulate
matter (PM) and adverse health effects, the chemical components of the PM mixture that …

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

Background Several studies have reported associations between long-term exposure to
ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular mortality. However, the health …
