Adverse Effects of fine particulate matter on human kidney functioning: a systematic review

Environmental Health, 2022
Background Ambient fine particulate matter (PM < 2.5 μm, PM 2.5 ) is gaining increasing attention as an environmental risk factor for health. The kidneys are considered a particularly vulnerable target to the toxic effects that PM 2.5 exerts.

Global estimates of mortality associated with long-term exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Exposure to outdoor concentrations of fine particulate matter is considered a leading global health concern, largely based on estimates of excess deaths using information integrating exposure and risk from several particle sources (outdoor ...

Effects of COVID-19 lockdowns on fine particulate matter concentrations

Science Advances, 2021
Satellite-derived PM2.5 concentrations are produced and examined to assess the effects of COVID-19 lockdowns on PM2.5. Lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine the effects of human activity on air quality ...

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

Environmental Health Perspectives, 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.

Fine particulate matter exposure aggravates ischemic injury via NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis

CNS Neuroscience & Therapeutics, 2022
Accumulating evidence has suggested that airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated.

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

ISEE 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]

Environmental 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 ...
