Coarse particulate matter air quality in East Asia: implications for fine particulate nitrate

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023
Abstract. Air quality network data in China and South Korea show very high year-round mass concentrations of coarse particulate matter (PM), as inferred by difference between PM10 and PM2.5. Coarse PM concentrations in 2015 averaged 52 μg m-3 in the North China Plain (NCP) and 23 μg m-3 in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), contributing nearly half of ...

Short‐Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter Air Pollution Is Preferentially Associated With the Risk of ST‐Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Events

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2015
Background Air pollution is associated with greater cardiovascular event risk, but the types of events and specific persons at risk remain unknown. This analysis evaluates effects of short‐term exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution with risk ...

Outdoor air pollution and lung cancer: what now?

Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Public Health, 2013
In the last decade a substantial number of epidemiological studies suggested that outdoor air pollution and in particular respirable particulate matter (PM10) and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) are associated with an increased risk of lung cancer.The ...

School children’s exposure to indoor fine particulate matter

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Assessing the exposure of children to indoor fine particulate matter (PM _2.5 ) is important because children spend about one third of their day inside early learning microenvironments.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and
