An increasing number of studies examined the potential effects of PM 1 (submicronic
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 1 μm) on the risk of respiratory diseases; …

Studies suggested that the smaller particle size has more adverse effects on
cardiorespiratory diseases. However, the associations between PM 1 (particulate matter with …

Background Extensive studies have linked PM 2.5 and PM 10 with respiratory diseases
(RD). However, few is known about causal association between PM 1 and morbidity of RD …

Abstract The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the World Health
Organization have designated airborne particulates, including particulates of median …

Introduction As the largest developing country, China has some of the worst air quality in the
world. Heavy smog in January 2013 led to unprecedented public concern about the health …

Several literatures have examined the risk of chronic respiratory diseases in association with
short-term ambient PM 2.5 exposure in China. However, little evidence has examined the …

Background and objectives Little is known about PM 1 effects on respiratory health, relative
to larger size fractions (PM 2.5). To address this literature gap, we assessed associations …

Objectives We investigated the association between particulate matter less than 10 µm in
aerodynamic diameter (PM 10) exposure and non-accidental mortality in Asian populations …

The association between the particulate matters with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.
5) and daily respiratory deaths, particularly the concentration‐response pattern, has not …

Only a few recent systematic reviews and meta-analysis studies have quantitatively
assessed the effect of short-term exposure to ambient fine particular matter with an …
