An Integrated Risk Function for Estimating the Global Burden of Disease Attributable to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter Exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Estimating the burden of disease attributable to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in ambient air requires knowledge of both the shape and magnitude of the relative risk (RR) function.

Mobile air quality studies (MAQS) in inner cities: particulate matter PM10 levels related to different vehicle driving modes and integration of data into a geographical information program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
: BACKGROUND: Particulate matter (PM) is assumed to exert a major burden on public health. Most studies that address levels of PM use stationary measure systems.

Mobile Air Quality Studies (MAQS): An international project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Due to an increasing awareness of the potential hazardousness of air pollutants, new laws, rules and guidelines have recently been implemented globally. In this respect, numerous studies have addressed traffic-related exposure to particulate matter using

"Safety health impacts of particulate matter from excavation work sites" [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Gli studi epidemiologici hanno evidenziato una relazione lineare tra il particolato aerodisperso e gli effetti sulla salute dell'uomo. E' dunque interessante comprendere quale sia realmente il rischio a cui va incontro la popolazione esposta ad ...

Fine Particulate Air Pollution and Ischaemic Heart Disease in Chinese Cities: A narrative review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between fine particulate matter and ischaemic heart disease. A literature search was conducted using six electronic databases (Embase, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library and Web of

Ships, ports and particulate air pollution - an analysis of recent studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The duration of use is usually significantly longer for marine vessels than for roadside vehicles. Therefore, these vessels are often powered by relatively old engines which may propagate air pollution.

Black carbon as an additional indicator of the adverse health effects of airborne particles compared with PM10 and PM2.5. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Current air quality standards for particulate matter (PM) use the PM mass concentration [PM with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 10 μm (PM(10)) or ≤ 2.5 μm (PM(2.5))] as a metric.

Chronic exposure to outdoor air pollution and diagnosed cardiovascular disease: meta-analysis of three large cross-sectional surveys. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
BACKGROUND: Higher exposure to outdoor air pollution is associated with increased cardiopulmonary deaths, but there is limited evidence about the association between outdoor air pollution and diagnosed cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular changes in workers exposed to fine particulate dust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Objectives: Epidemiological studies provide evidence that airborne particulate matter may contribute to the increased incidence and mortality rates due to pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases.
