In environmental magnetism, rock and mineral magnetic techniques are used to investigate
the formation, transportation, deposition, and postdepositional alterations of magnetic …

Airborne particulate matter poses a serious threat to human health. Exposure to nanosized
(< 0.1 μm), vehicle-derived particulates may be hazardous due to their bioreactivity, their …

Urban air pollution in cities, among the world's most critical problems, has escalated to such
an extent that it threatens human health in many urban centers and causes the death of …

Exposure to metal-rich particulate pollution is associated with adverse health outcomes. In
particular, lead has recently been shown to be toxic in young children even at low levels …

Background There has been growing interest among exposure assessors, epidemiologists,
and policymakers in the concept of" hot spots", or more broadly, the" spatial extent" of …

Urban green spaces function as biological filters in reducing atmospheric particles. Yet there
is a profound requisite to identify the most effective plant species by their leaf traits that can …

Abstract Fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) is an important air pollutant due to its adverse
health effects. Vehicle emissions make a large contribution to particle concentrations in …

Recently, biomagnetic monitoring of tree leaves has proven to be a good estimator for
ambient particulate concentration. This paper investigates the usefulness of biomagnetic …

This work studies the correlation between magnetic properties and the content of Cu, Zn, Cd
and Pb in urban soils of Hangzhou, Eastern China. The magnetic measurement shows that …

Biomagnetic monitoring of atmospheric pollution is a growing application in the field of
environmental magnetism. Particulate matter (PM) in atmospheric pollution contains readily …
