Background Air pollution constitutes a significant stimulus of asthma exacerbations;
however, the impacts of exposure to major air pollutants on asthma-related hospital …

Although the relationship between asthma and exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
has been frequently measured, reported conclusions have not been consistent. As …

Trees remove air pollution by the interception of particulate matter on plant surfaces and the
absorption of gaseous pollutants through the leaf stomata. However, the magnitude and …

Although it is well accepted that air pollution exposure exacerbates preexisting airway
disease, it has not been firmly established that long-term pollution exposure increases the …

Urban particulate air pollution is a serious health issue. Trees within cities can remove fine
particles from the atmosphere and consequently improve air quality and human health. Tree …

Nevertheless its mechanism has not been well explained yet, PM2. 5 is recognized to
exacerbate asthma. In the present study, the roles of toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR4 and …

Black carbon (BC) is a significant component of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) air pollution,
which has been linked to a series of adverse health effects, in particular premature mortality …

Air pollution levels are uneven within cities, contributing to persistent health disparities
between neighborhoods and population sub‐groups. Highly spatially resolved information …

Inflammation after diesel exhaust and DEP exposure is evident at higher concentrations
only; there appears to be a threshold dose for DEPs approximating 300 μg/m 3. The lack of a …

This paper is the first to explore public perceptions about a particular market niche for
hydrogen; mobile generators. By utilising a combined research approach including in-situ …
