Several epidemiologic and toxicological studies have commonly viewed ambient fine
particulate matter (PM2. 5), defined as particles having an aerodynamic diameter of less …

Air pollution is a complex mixture of gases and particulate matter, with adsorbed organic and
inorganic contaminants, to which exposure is lifelong. Epidemiological studies increasingly …

Under the background of global industrialization, PM 2.5 has become the fourth-leading risk
factor for ischemic stroke worldwide, according to the 2019 GBD estimates. This highlights …

The key areas of China's urbanization process have gradually shifted from urban areas to
