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 ...

Prohypertensive Effect of Gestational Personal Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter. Prospective Cohort Study in Non-smoking and Non-obese Pregnant Women [PDF]

, 2012
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) is a recognized risk factor for elevated blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular disease in adults, and this prospective cohort study was undertaken to evaluate whether gestational exposure to \(PM_{2.5}\) has a ...

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.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) trends in China, 2013–2018: separating contributions from anthropogenic emissions and meteorology

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019
. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a severe air pollution problem in China. Observations of PM2.5 have been available since 2013 from a large network operated by the China National Environmental Monitoring Center (CNEMC).

On the widespread enhancement in fine particulate matter across the Indo-Gangetic Plain towards winter

Scientific Reports, 2020
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5, aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 µm) impacts the climate, reduces visibility and severely influences human health. The Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), home to about one-seventh of the world’s total population and a hotspot of aerosol ...

Long-term air pollution exposure, genome-wide DNA methylation and lung function in the lifelines cohort study [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Long-term air pollution exposure is negatively associated with lung function, yet the mechanisms underlying this association are not fully clear. Differential DNA methylation may explain this association. OBJECTIVES: Our main aim was to study

Ambient fine particulate matter exposure and incident mild cognitive impairment and dementia

Journal of The American Geriatrics Society, 2021
Poor air quality is implicated as a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. Few studies have examined these associations longitudinally in well‐characterized population‐based cohorts with standardized annual assessment of both mild cognitive ...
