A study of environmental exposure from cooking fuel use and role of intervention
Background: Combustion of traditional biomass fuels and coal has been found to be associated with exposure to particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and cause a series of adverse health effects.

Emission Standards for Particulates [PDF]
Promulgation of standards of performance under Section 111 and national emission standards for hazardous pollutants under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act is the responsibility of the Emission Standards and Engineering Division of EPA. The problems encountered and the bases used are examined.

Elemental and isotopic compositions in blank filters collecting atmospheric particulates
Background The atmospheric particulates can be harmful to human health due to toxic substances sorbed onto particulates. Although the atmospheric particulates have been collected using different types of filters, few studies have reported background ...

Since the iron-age and throughout the industrial age, humans have been exposed to iron oxides. Here, we review the evidence from epidemiology, toxicology, and lung bioavailability as to whether iron oxides are likely to act as human lung carcinogens ...

The relevance of the evolution of experimental studies for the interpretation and evaluation of some trace physical evidence [PDF]
In order for trace evidence to have a high evidential value, experimental studies which mimic the forensic reality are of fundamental importance.

Scale-free Universal Spectrum for Atmospheric Aerosol Size Distribution for Davos, Mauna Loa and Izana [PDF]
Atmospheric flows exhibit fractal fluctuations and inverse power law form for power spectra indicating an eddy continuum structure for the selfsimilar fluctuations. A general systems theory for fractal fluctuations developed by the author is based on the

Particulate Mercury and Particulate Organic Matter in the Itenez Basin (Bolivia) [PDF]
In rivers and other freshwater bodies, the presence of mercury can be due to direct contamination by anthropic activities such as gold mining. However, it can also be attributed to atmospheric deposition and erosion, runoff, or lixiviation from surrounding soils.
