Abstract - Short-term effects of air pollution on mortality have been well documented in the literature worldwide. Less is known about which subpopulations are more vulnerable to air pollution. We...
To evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated control measures for reducing PM2.5 (aerosol particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5 μm) and hazy weather, day- and...
Haze pollution in Beijing is rather deteriorated. Long-term measurement of PM2.5 from 2005 to 2010 at an urban site in Beijing showed very high concentration level with an annual...
In this study, the pollution status of particulate matter (PM) in ambient air was investigated based on the concentration data of three important PM fractions (PM2.5, PM10,...
Despite the stringent emission reduction measures implemented in Beijing over the past decade, a series of unprecedentedly severe haze events hit this megacity in January 2013. It is of great...
Infiltration of outdoor-sourced particles into indoor environments in 39 schools in Barcelona was assessed during school hours. Tracers of road traffic emissions (NO2, Equivalent Black...
Air pollution caused by fine particles is a problem of great concern in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA) which is the third largest city and the second most important industrial center in...
Epidemiologic evidence for an association between black carbon (BC) and health outcomes is limited. We estimated associations and exposure–response relationships between childhood asthma...
Bulk aerosol samples collected during 2010 and 2011 at one receptor site in Córdoba City, Argentina, have been quantitatively analyzed to determine aerosol elemental composition by using SR-XRF. A...
This is the first study of particulate matter (PM) air pollution in Cameroon. In this study, mass concentration and PM size fractions, as well as carbonaceous contribution to PM, are measured in...
