associated with aggravation of the pathophysiology of asthma, including exacerbations …

In the US, the burden of asthma and COPD varies across racial or ethnic groups, largely
because of unequal exposure to environmental exposures such as tobacco smoke and …

Based on the first-principles calculation, the adsorption structure and electronic
characteristics of CO, NO 2, SO 2 and NH 3 adsorbed on pure, defective and metal atom …

By utilizing density functional theory (DFT), we explore the adsorption and sensing
performance of NO, NO 2, SO 2 and CO on intrinsic GaN/MoTe 2 heterostructure, vacancy …

Considerable evidence has been accumulated on serious acute health outcomes
associated with short-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). Modifying …

Background The relationships between short-term ozone exposure and the acute
exacerbations of asthma in adults have not been fully studied. Existing studies commonly …

Environmental air pollutants are a significant cause for development and exacerbation of
respiratory disease. 1–3 This chapter focuses on respiratory health effects of pollutants in …

Ground level ozone is a potent respiratory toxicant with decades of accumulated data
demonstrating respiratory harms to children. Despite the ubiquity of ozone in the United …

Introduction Air pollutants are increasingly recognized to affect long-term outcomes in
patients with bronchiectasis. We aimed to figure out the association between air pollutants …

Background Extensive studies have linked PM 2.5 and PM 10 with respiratory diseases
