Airborne fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a pollutant that is found in all urban
environments. PM2. 5 is predominantly generated by traffic and domestic fuel combustion …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the health effects associated with the exposure to
ground-level of particulate matters with aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 μm (PM 2.5) on citizens …

How the relative impacts of anthropogenic pressures on the natural environment vary
between different taxonomic groups, habitats, and geographic regions is increasingly well …

Black carbon (BC), produced from the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels, has
emerged as a major contributor to global climate change with adverse health effects. Based …

Although aerosol black carbon (BC) exerts strong influences on human health, research on
potential health risks of aerosol BC around the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is very limited. This is …

Air quality is the leading global environmental risk factor for disease. This article focuses on
the evidence for the need to develop effective air quality policies for the Pacific Islands …

Globally, there is little information on children's personal exposure to particle pollution in
developing countries, and hardly any in the Pacific Island Countries. This study was …

Black carbon (BC) produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials and
biomass has become a major factor affecting global climate change and adversely affects …

Traffic related PM 2.5 air pollution data remain largely absent in the Pacific Island Countries
(PICs). Increased use of second hand cars and inadequate emission control policies may …

Health implications of air pollution vary dependent upon pollutant sources. This work
determines the value, in terms of reduced mortality, of reducing ambient particulate matter …
