HOW DOES FINE PARTICULATE MATTER IMPACT PUBLIC TRANSIT RIDERSHIP? [PDF]

Transport Problems, 2022
We explore how a rapid rise in air pollutants impacts the ridership of public transportation. Based on the individual purchase history, our comprehensive analyses document evidence that an elevated level of concentrations of fine particulate matter ...

LPS Response Is Impaired by Urban Fine Particulate Matter

International 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

Identification of cement in atmospheric particulate matter using the hybrid method of laser diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy

Heliyon, 2020
The production of cement is associated with the emissions of dust and particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds into the environment.

Differential toxicities of fine particulate matters from various sources [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractFine particulate matters less than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) in the ambient atmosphere are strongly associated with adverse health effects. However, it is unlikely that all fine particles are equally toxic in view of their different sizes and chemical components.

Electric vehicle fleet penetration helps address inequalities in air quality and improves environmental justice

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Accelerated penetration of on-road electric vehicles offers regional and community-scale air quality benefits; however, such benefits have not been previously quantified regarding environmental justice communities near major roads.

Modeling residential fine particulate matter infiltration for exposure assessment [PDF]

Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2008
Individuals spend the majority of their time indoors; therefore, estimating infiltration of outdoor-generated fine particulate matter (PM(2.5)) can help reduce exposure misclassification in epidemiological studies. As indoor measurements in individual homes are not feasible in large epidemiological studies, we evaluated the potential of using readily ...
