Air pollution and climate change have a significant impact on human health and well‐being
and contribute to the onset and aggravation of allergic rhinitis and asthma among other …

Rare earth elements (REEs) are metals including the 15 lanthanides together with Yttrium
and Scandium. China is the leading country in their exploitation and production (∼ 90%) …

Particulate matter (PM) is a complex mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets suspended
in the air with varying size, shape, and chemical composition which intensifies significant …

The extensive use of rare earth elements (REEs) in a number of technologies is expected to
impact on human health, including occupational and environmental REE exposures. A body …

The lung is one of the most important organs exposed to environmental agents. People
spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, and risks to health may thus be greater from …

In this study, we investigated the impact of urban emission sources on the chemical
composition of ambient particulate matter (PM) as well as the associated oxidative potential …

Epidemiological studies have revealed positive correlation between particulate matter with
an aerodynamic diameter of< 2.5 µm (PM 2.5) and pulmonary fibrosis (PF). As etiology and …

It has been reported that particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of< 2.5 µm (PM2.
5) could induce epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT)-and extracellular matrix (ECM) …

The impact of outdoor and indoor sources on the chemical composition of particulate matter
(PM) collected in a domestic environment was explored. PM 2.5 samples were …

Background Environmental exposures across the life course may be a contributor to the
increased worldwide prevalence of respiratory and allergic diseases occurring in the last …
