Source identification and quantification of particulate matter emitted from livestock houses [PDF]
, 2010 There is need to identify and quantify the contribution of different sources to airborne particulate matter (PM) emissions from animal houses. To this end, we compared the chemical and morphological characteristics of fine and coarse PM from known ...

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5): The culprit for chronic lung diseases in China
Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, 2018 Air pollution is a world public health problem. Particulate matter (PM), a mix of solid and liquid particles in the air, becomes an increasing concern in the social and economic development of China.

Hepatic alterations associated with fine particulate matter exposure
Toxicological Research, 2019 Several studies have pointed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) as the main responsible for air pollution toxic effects. Indeed, PM2.5 may not only cause respiratory and cardiovascular abnormalities but it may also affect other organs such as the liver. Be that as it may, only a few studies have evaluated the PM2.5 effects on hepatic tissue.

Fate of metals in coastal sediments of a Mediterranean flood-dominated system: An approach based on total and labile fractions [PDF]
, 2011 The dynamics of sediment-bound metals (Cs, Cu, Ni, Pb, Ti and Zn) were studied off the Têt River (western Gulf of Lion), a typical Mediterranean coastal river punctuated by short and violent flash-floods.
