Phenol-formaldehyde resin microplastic (PF-MP) is one of the major inhalable microplastics
in environments released from the manufacture, processing and usage of PF materials. The …

Air pollution represents a major health problem and an economic burden. In recent years,
advances in air pollution research has allowed particle fractionation and identification of …

Secondary air pollutants, originating from gaseous pollutants and primary particulate matter
emitted by natural sources and human activities, undergo complex atmospheric chemical …

The health effects of exposure to secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) are still limited. Here,
we investigated and compared the toxicities of soot particles (SP) coated with β-pinene SOA …

Exposure to air pollution causes adverse health outcomes, but the toxicity mechanisms
remain unclear. Here, we investigated the dynamic toxicities of naphthalene-derived …

The COVID-19 outbreak provides a “controlled experiment” to investigate the response of
aerosol pollution to the reduction of anthropogenic activities. Here we explore the chemical …

Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient with an important atmospheric component in its
biogeochemical cycle. In this cycle, phytoplankton form volatile organic Se species, such as …

Selenium (Se) is an essential nutrient for humans and enters our food chain through
bioavailable Se in soil. Atmospheric deposition is a major source of Se to soils, driving the …

The 2021 WHO guidelines recommend limits for black carbon (BC) due to its role in
oxidative stress and inflammation. BC is highly light-absorbing and quickly undergoes …

Airway epithelium is extraordinary vulnerable to damage owning to continuous environment
exposure. Subsequent repair is therefore essential to restore the homeostasis of respiratory …
