Spatio-Temporal Variation in the Concentration of Inhalable Particulate Matter (PM₁₀) in Uganda. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019
Long-term particulate matter (PM10) measurements were conducted during the period January 2016 to September 2017 at three sites in Uganda (Mbarara, Kyebando, and Rubindi) representing a wide range of urbanization. Spatial, temporal and diurnal variations

Use of an index to reflect the aggregate burden of long-term exposure to criteria air pollutants in the United States. [PDF]

, 2002
Air pollution control in the United States for five common pollutants--particulate matter, ground-level ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and carbon monoxide--is based partly on the attainment of ambient air quality standards that represent a ...

A comparison of PAH emission sampling methods (cyclone, impactor) in particulate and gaseous phase [PDF]

, 2018
Four different domestic heating boilers and four types of fuel (lignite, wet wood, wood pellets and mixed fuel) were tested, and the emissions of the particulate matter (PM) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were correlated. Dekati low-pressure

Particulate matter pollution prone-areas mapping using an enhanced explainable ensemble meta-algorithm

International Journal of Digital Earth
Particulate matter pollution in the air, especially PM2.5 and PM10, remains a critical environmental concern, particularly in urban areas like Tehran. Identifying areas susceptible to particulate matter pollution through mapping is crucial for effective ...

Exposure to ambient particulate matter is associated with accelerated functional decline in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive disease with an unknown pathogenesis, may be due in part to an abnormal response to injurious stimuli by alveolar epithelial cells. Air pollution and particulate inhalation of matter evoke a

From the Gut to the Brain: Microplastic‐Associated Neurovascular Dysfunction and Implications for Stroke Risk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic oral exposure to microplastics may disrupt gut microbiota homeostasis and intestinal barrier integrity, potentially engaging the gut–brain axis and systemic inflammatory responses. These alterations may be associated with impaired blood–brain barrier function, cerebral microvascular dysfunction, and enhanced endothelial inflammation, pro ...

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates

The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

Concentrations of Traffic Related Pollutants in the Vicinity of Different Types of Urban Crossroads

Communications, 2019
Pollution of the air by gases and particulate matter is a problem of everyday life. Particulate matter (PM) is one of the hazardous pollutants causing deterioration of the environment and thus quality of life of the population.

Maternal exposure to air pollution and the risk of small for gestational age in offspring: A population-based study in Taiwan

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2020
Background: Exposure to air pollution has been associated with a wide range of adverse health effects; however, few studies addressed the relationship between ambient particulate matter as well as the compositions in particulate matter such as lead and ...
