Different genes interact with particulate matter and tobacco smoke exposure in affecting lung function decline in the general population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress related genes modify the effects of ambient air pollution or tobacco smoking on lung function decline. The impact of interactions might be substantial, but previous studies mostly focused on main effects of single genes ...

Analysis of Asian Dust Events in Korea between 1997 and 2005

open access: yesAsian Journal of Atmospheric Environment, 2013
The characteristics of Asian dust (AD) in Korea between 1997 and 2005 were investigated, focusing on peak 1-hour PM10 concentrations during AD events at seven cities over the Korean Peninsula.

The Influence of COVID-19 on Particulate Matter Concentrations in a Medium-Sized Town

open access: yesPromet (Zagreb), 2022
The pandemic caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 is having a worldwide impact that affects health, economy and air pollution in cities indirectly. In Slovenia, as well as in all other countries, the number of cases of infected people increased continually

A Super‐Adhesive Air Filter With Capillarity‐Mediated Spontaneous Particle Absorption via Dynamic Bond Exchange

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We address the inherently weak particle adhesion of conventional air filters by coating a dynamically crosslinked adhesive layer that delivers capillarity‐driven strong adhesion and particle absorption mediated by dynamic bond exchange. The resulting enhancement in particle adhesion enables efficient ultrafast (up to 20 m s−1) and omnidirectional ...

Spatial Particulate Fields during High Winds in the Imperial Valley, California

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
We examined windblown dust within the Imperial Valley (CA) during strong springtime west-southwesterly (WSW) wind events. Analysis of routine agency meteorological and ambient particulate matter (PM) measurements identified 165 high WSW wind events ...

Public Exposure to Outdoor Bioaerosols in Particulate Matter in Las Vegas: Daily and Seasonal Variations

open access: yes, 2019
Bioaerosols are airborne particles of biological origin including viruses, bacteria, pollen, fungi, and fragments of their metabolic products. Bioaerosol exposure may represent a health risk, in particular for risk groups such as immunosuppressed persons,

Prediction of local particle pollution level based on artificial neural network [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Citizens eager to know the local pollution level to prevent from air pollution. The real-time measurement for everywhere is a very expensive way, a statistical model based on artificial neural network is applied in this research.

A High‐Performance and Fully Recyclable Supramolecular Nanofibrous Membrane for Multifunctional Air Filtration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A green, thermoreversible self‐assembly strategy yields a multifunctional and recyclable supramolecular nanofibrous membrane. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet acts as a heterogeneous nucleation‐templating agent, simultaneously modulating the supramolecular crystal packing while tailoring the nanofibrous architecture for elite performance.

Spatio-temporal modelling of the influence of climatic variables and seasonal variation on PM10 in Malaysia using multivariate regression (MVR) and GIS

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2021
In an era of rapidly changing climate, investigating the impacts of climate parameters on major air pollutants such as Particulate matter (PM10) is imperative to mitigate its adverse effect.
