Background In epidemiology studies, ambient measurements of PM 2.5 are often used as
surrogates for personal exposures. However, it is unclear the degree to which ambient PM …

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 …

Environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs) are a type of emerging contaminants. The
EPFR species in airborne particulate matter are similar to carcinogenic tar paramagnetic …

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated significant associations between traffic-related
air pollution and adverse health outcomes. Personal exposure to fine particles (PM 2.5) in …

Limited evidence is available on the effects of various fine particulate matter (PM2. 5)
components on inflammatory cytokines and DNA methylation. We examined whether 16 …

Epidemiological studies report associations between air pollution (AP) exposures and
several neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, attention deficit disorder, and …

Exposure to heavy metals (HMs) present in the particulate matter from municipal solid waste
during pretreatment and recycling processes may pose a serious health risk to workers. This …

Air purification has been proven to be an effective method for reducing personal fine
particulate matte (PM 2.5) exposure. A randomized, double-blind, crossover intervention trial …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is an important environmental factor affecting
human health. However, most studies on PM 2.5 and health have used data from fixed …

There was limited evidence regarding the association between short-term exposure to
ambient particulate matter (PM) and respiratory outpatient visits among children at a multicity …
