Elderly Mortality and Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone [PDF]
Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2019 The effects on particulate matter (PM) and ozone on health are being reported by a number of studies. The effects of these air pollutants are likely to be stronger in the elderly population, but studies in this regard are scarce. The purpose of this study was to study the effects of PM ≤ 2.5 μ and ozone on chronic health effects of the elderly ...

Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) and Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractThe impact of ambient particulate matter (PM) on public health has become a great global concern, which is especially prominent in developing countries. For health purposes, PM is typically defined by size, with the smaller particles having more health impacts. Particles with a diameter <2.5 μm are called PM2.5. Initial research studies have

The presence of fine and ultrafine particulate matter in the work environment [PDF]
Central European Journal of Public Health, 2020 This study presents the results of pilot measurement, where the exposure of fine and ultrafine particulate matter was monitored. The measurement was performed in welding workplace, where these particles are produced unintentionally. The measurement consisted of collecting information and measuring the concentration of particles in the workplace, where ...

Spatial Distribution of Fine Particulate Matter in Underground Passageways [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018 The unfavorable locations of underground infrastructures and poor ventilation facilities can result in the deterioration of enclosed air quality. Some researchers have studied air quality and ventilation measures in different types of underground buildings.

Association between traffic-related air pollution, subclinical inflammation and impaired glucose metabolism : results from the SALIA study [PDF]
, 2013 Environmental and lifestyle factors regulate the expression and release of immune mediators. It has been hypothesised that ambient air pollution may be such an external factor and that the association between air pollution and impaired glucose metabolism

Hormesis for Fine Particulate Matter (PM 2.5)
Dose-Response, 2011 The hypothesis of hormesis – that substances that harm health at high exposures can reduce risks below background at low exposures, e.g., if they activate defenses without overwhelming them – becomes important for practical policy making if it holds for regulated substances. Recently, the U.S.

Fine Particulate Matter and Diabetes Prevalence in Okayama, Japan.
Acta medica Okayama, 2023 Many studies have shown an association between long-term exposure to particulate matter having an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM2.5) and diabetes mellitus (DM), but few studies have focused on Asian subjects. We thus examined the association between long-term exposure to PM2.5 and DM prevalence in Okayama City, Japan.
