Implementation of regulatory standards has reduced exhaust emissions of particulate matter
from road traffic substantially in the developed world. However, nonexhaust particle …

Particulate matter (PM) is a key indicator of air pollution brought into the air by a variety of
natural and human activities. As it can be suspended over long time and travel over long …

About 400,000 premature adult deaths attributable to air pollution occur each year in the
European Region. Road transport emissions account for a significant share of this burden …

This article briefly reviews evidence of health effects associated with exposure to particulate
matter (PM) air pollution from five common outdoor emission sources: traffic, coal-fired …

The diversity of ambient particle size and chemical composition considerably complicates
pinpointing the specific causal associations between exposure to particles and adverse …

Short-term exposure to fine particle mass (PM) has been associated with adverse health
effects, but little is known about the relative toxicity of particle components. We conducted a …

Dust storms and sandy dust events originating in arid and semi-arid areas can transport
particulate material, pollutants, and potential transport long distances from their sources …

Introduction Information on the relationship between levels of particulate matter (PM) smaller
than 2.5 μm and mortality rates in Europe is relatively sparse because of limited availability …

This article reviews evidence for the public health impacts of coal across the extraction,
processing, use, and waste disposal continuum. Surface coal mining and processing …

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of road dust on human health. A
PubMed search was used to extract references that included the words “road dust” and …
