Prediction of Hourly PM2.5 and PM10 Concentrations in Chongqing City in China Based on Artificial Neural Network

Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 2023
Accurate prediction of air pollution is a difficult problem to be solved in atmospheric environment research. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is exploited to predict hourly PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in Chongqing City.

Spatio-Temporal Variations of the PM2.5/PM10 Ratios and Its Application to Air Pollution Type Classification in China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Particulate Matter (PM) is an important indicator of the degree of air pollution. The PM type and the ratio of coarse and fine PM particles determine the ability to affect human health and atmospheric processes.

Ambient particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) and childhood pneumonia: The smaller particle, the greater short-term impact?

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
BACKGROUND Smaller sizes of ambient particulate matter (PM) can be more toxic and can be breathed into lower lobes of a lung. Children are particularly vulnerable to PM air pollution because of their adverse effects on both lung functions and lung ...

Particulate matter (PM10) induces in vitro activation of human neutrophils, and lung histopathological alterations in a mouse model

Scientific Reports, 2022
The epidemiological association between exposure to particulate matter (PM10) and various respiratory and cardiovascular problems is well known, but the mechanisms driving these effects remain unclear. Neutrophils play an essential role in immune defense

The impact of a foehn wind on PM10 concentrations and the urban boundary layer in complex terrain: a case study from Kraków, Poland

Tellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2021
Kraków, Poland, is a city with poor air quality, located in the large Wisła (Vistula) valley, and affected by a foehn wind from the Tatra Mountains. We analyzed 14 long episodes of the foehn from the periods Sep 2017 - Apr 2018 and Sep 2018 - Apr 2019 ...

Short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Environment International, 2020
BACKGROUND Air pollution is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Short-term exposure (from one hour to days) to selected air pollutants has been associated with human mortality.
