Fine particulate matter pollution and risk of community-acquired sepsis [PDF]
While air pollution has been associated with health complications, its effect on sepsis risk is unknown. We examined the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution and risk of sepsis hospitalization.

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

The effect of external suction at the dust outlet of a cyclone [PDF]
Cyclone is one of the most commonly used particulate dust collectors in industries. It employs centrifugal force generated by a spinning gas stream to separate the particulate matter from the carrier gas.

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

Contribution of primary aerosol emissions from vegetation-derived sources to fine particle concentrations in Los Angeles [PDF]
Field measurements of the n-alkanes present in fine atmospheric aerosols show a predominance of odd carbon numbered higher molecular weight homologues (C_(27)–C_(33)) that is characteristic of plant waxes.

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