Background Due to the adverse health effects of air pollution, researchers have advocated
for personal exposure measurements whereby individuals carry portable monitors in order …

Exposure measurement error is an important source of bias in epidemiological studies. We
assessed the validity of employing ambient (outdoor) measurements as proxies of personal …

Metals in atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) are presumed to have toxic effects. For
environmental epidemiological studies, measuring the metallic components of PM 2.5 …

Direct evidence about associations between fine particles (PM 2.5) components and the
corresponding PM 2.5 bioreactivity at the individual level is limited. We conducted a panel …

Highlights•Personal PM 2.5 toxicological effects exhibited distinct seasonal
variations.•Cytotoxicity, inflammation, and ROS generation were chemical component …

Exposure to air pollution is a leading health risk factor. The variance components and
contributions of indoor versus outdoor source determinants of personal exposure to air …

The primary aim of this study is to explore the utility of machine learning algorithms for
predicting personal PM2. 5 exposures of elderly participants and to evaluate the effect of …

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between outdoor, indoor, and personal PM
2.5 exposure in the retired adults and explore the effects of potential determinants in two …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is a complex mixture of components which has
been associated with various cardiovascular effects, such as elevated blood pressure (BP) …

Abstract Personal exposure to PM 2.5, and the elemental composition therein, may vary
greatly from ambient measurements at fixed monitoring sites. Here, we characterized the …
