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.

Pediatric Anxiety and Daily Fine Particulate Matter: A Longitudinal Study
ISEE Conference Abstracts, 2022 Daily variations in ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) could contribute to the morbidity of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents, but has not yet been studied longitudinally at a daily level. We tested this association using repeated weekly measures of anxiety symptom severity in a group of 23 adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder.
