Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is detrimental to the human respiratory system.
However, the toxicity of PM 2.5 and its associated potentially harmful species, notably novel …

Particulate matter (PM) is the air pollutant that causes the greatest deleterious health effects
across the world, so PM is routinely monitored within air quality networks, usually in respect …

The content of single heavy metal in blood is associated with lung function decline, but there
is little evidence on the joint effect of multiple heavy metals on lung function. To explore …
