Implementation of regulatory standards has reduced exhaust emissions of particulate matter
from road traffic substantially in the developed world. However, nonexhaust particle …

In this review, we elucidate the central role played by fossil fuel combustion in the health-
related effects that have been associated with inhalation of ambient fine particulate matter …

There is increasing evidence linking long-term fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) exposure to
negative health effects. However, the relative influence of each component of PM2. 5 on …

Background Few studies have evaluated long-term cardiovascular effects of fine particulate
matter (PM 2.5) and its constituents in countries with high air pollution levels. We aimed to …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a primary air pollutant recognized worldwide as a
serious threat to public health. PM2. 5, which has a diameter of less than 2.5 μm, is known to …

Background The link between exposure to ambient air pollution and mortality from
cardiorespiratory diseases is well established, while evidence on neurodegenerative …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation drives the net production of tropospheric ozone (O3) and a large
fraction of particulate matter (PM) including sulfate, nitrate, and secondary organic aerosols …

Previous European land-use regression (LUR) models assumed fixed linear relationships
between air pollution concentrations and predictors such as traffic and land use. We …

Although concentrations of ambient air pollution continue to decline in high-income regions,
epidemiological studies document adverse health effects at levels below current standards …

Background Ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) causes millions of deaths every year
worldwide. Identification of the most harmful types of PM 2.5 would facilitate efficient …
