Seasonal variation in mercury (Hg) spatial distribution in dust was investigated in an arid
area with documented resuspension and erosion events. We estimated Hg concentration in …

The oxidative potential (OP) is defined as the ability of inhaled PM components to
catalytically/non-catalytically generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and deplete lung …

This study assessed the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risks of cement plant
workers exposed to chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in cement …

Arid and semi-arid cities are of especial interest due to the high amount of dusts that are
deposited daily. Dust particles contain heavy metals that are considered potentially toxic …

The purpose of this study was to analyze the air quality in Hangzhou and its surrounding
areas during the 2023 Asian Games and assess the impact of safeguard measures on air …

Airborne magnetic particles may be harmful because of their composition, morphology, and
association with potentially toxic elements that may be observed through relationships …

An alternative metric to account for particulate matter (PM) composition-based toxicity is the
ability of PM-species to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and deplete antioxidants …

Ash emission from volcanic eruptions affects the environment, society, and human health.
This study shows the total concentration and lung bioaccessible fraction of eight potential …

The aims were to characterize the content of elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) in size-separated particulate matter (PM) sampled in a road tunnel, estimate the …

Previous studies about metal exposures and bone mineral density (BMD) have mainly
focused on individual metals. The objective of this study was to explore the association of …
