Projecting Fine Particulate Matter-related Mortality in East China [PDF]

open access: yesISEE Conference Abstracts, 2015
China is suffering from severe air pollution from fine particulate matter [≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5)], especially East China. But its future trends and potential health impacts remain unclear. The study objectives were to project future trends of PM2.5 and its short-term effect on mortality in East China by 2030.

Global Effect Factors for Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Science & Technology, 2019
We evaluate fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure-response models to propose a consistent set of global effect factors for product and policy assessments across spatial scales and across urban and rural environments. Relationships among exposure concentrations and PM2.5-attributable health effects largely depend on location, population density, and ...

Exposure duration of ambient fine particulate matter determines the polarization of macrophages

open access: yesCentral European Journal of Immunology, 2023
Ambient fine particulate matter (FPM) promotes airway inflammation and aggravates respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Macrophage polarization plays an essential role in FPM-induced inflammation and tissue repair.

LPS Response Is Impaired by Urban Fine Particulate Matter

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a complex mixture of components with diverse chemical and physical characteristics associated with increased respiratory and cardiovascular diseases mortality. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of exposure to concentrated PM2.5 on LPS-induced lung injury onset. BALB/c male mice were exposed to either filtered

Anthropogenic fugitive, combustion and industrial dust is a significant, underrepresented fine particulate matter source in global atmospheric models

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2017
Global measurements of the elemental composition of fine particulate matter across several urban locations by the Surface Particulate Matter Network reveal an enhanced fraction of anthropogenic dust compared to natural dust sources, especially over Asia.
