Background Health effects associated with air pollution are typically evaluated using a
single pollutant approach, yet people are exposed to mixtures consisting of multiple …

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma is a type of indolent tumor with a dramatically
increasing incidence rate and stably high survival rate. Reducing the overdiagnosis and …

The pathophysiological pathways linking particulate air pollution to cardiovascular disease
are still not fully understood. We examined the association between ambient air pollutants …

Background: Epidemiological evidence on the health effects of ultrafine particles (UFP)
remains insufficient to infer a causal relationship that is largely due to different size ranges …

The German Ultrafine Aerosol Network (GUAN) is a cooperative atmospheric observation
network, which aims at improving the scientific understanding of aerosol-related effects in …

Research indicates that multiple outdoor air pollutants and adverse neighborhood
conditions are spatially correlated. Yet health risks associated with concurrent exposure to …

Purpose B-mode ultrasound (B-US) and strain elastography ultrasound (SE-US) images
have a potential to distinguish thyroid tumor with different lymph node (LN) status. The …

As the basic travel service for urban transit, bus services carry the majority of urban
passengers. The characterisation of urban residents' transit trips can provide a first-hand …

Particulate matter (PM) pollution is of great concern for human health and vegetation. In this
study, we investigated the impact of PM on primary (unifoliate) leaves of Vigna radiata (L.) R …

Background Airborne particles are a complex mix of organic and inorganic compounds, with
a range of physical and chemical properties. Estimation of how simultaneous exposure to air …
