Numerical models that combine weather forecasting and atmospheric chemistry are here
referred to as chemical weather forecasting models. Eighteen operational chemical weather …

Coal mine fires are insidious, persistent, and as widespread as the occurrence of coal itself,
yet their potential adverse human health impacts have been poorly characterised. We aimed …

This study explores a large set of OC and EC measurements in PM10 and PM2. 5 aerosol
samples, undertaken with a long term constant analytical methodology, to evaluate the …

Background Epidemiological studies investigating the role of fine particulate matter (PM 2.5;
aerodynamic diameter< 2.5 μm) in triggering acute coronary events, including out‐of …

Airborne fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) represents the greatest ambient air pollution risk to
health. Wildfires and managed burns, together referred to hereafter as 'landscape'fires, are a …

Health is at the forefront of clean air and climate action. However, most existing studies of
health impacts were based on additive single-exposure effects, which often oversimplify the …

Organic acids attract increasing attention as contributors to atmospheric acidity, secondary
organic aerosol mass and aerosol hygroscopicity. Oxalic acid is globally the most abundant …

(1) Background: The developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis links
adverse fetal exposures with developmental mal-adaptations and morbidity later in life …

Mean annual biomass burning contributions to the bulk particulate matter (PMX) load were
quantified in a southern-European urban environment (Barcelona, Spain) with special …

Background Severe air pollution generated by forest fires is becoming an increasingly
frequent public health management problem. We measured the association between forest …
