Health Impact Analysis of Wildfire Smoke‐PM2.5 in Canada (2019–2023) [PDF]
GeohealthAbstract Wildfires are a source of air pollution, including PM2.5. Exposure to PM2.5 from wildfire smoke is associated with adverse health effects including premature death and respiratory morbidity. Air quality modeling was performed to quantify seasonal wildfire‐PM2.5 exposure across Canada for 2019–2023, and the annual acute and chronic health ...

Associations between fine and coarse particles and mortality in Mediterranean cities: results from the MED-PARTICLES project [PDF]
, 2013 Few studies have investigated the independent health effects of different size fractions of particulate matter (PM) in multiple locations, especially in Europe. We estimated the short-term effects of PM with aerodynamic diameter = 10 µm (PM10), = 2.5 µm

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

Evaluation of Ensemble Approach for O3 and PM2.5 Simulation
Asian Journal of Atmospheric Environment, 2010 Inter-comparison of chemical transport models (CTMs) was conducted among four modeling research groups. Model performance of the ensemble approach to O3 and PM2.5 simulation was evaluated by using observational data with a time resolution of 1 or 6 hours
