Abstract Fine particulate matter< 2.5 μm (PM2. 5) air pollution is the most important
environmental risk factor contributing to global cardiovascular (CV) mortality and disability …

Many practical soot-emitting combustion systems such as diesel and jet engines rely on
diffusion flames for efficient and reliable operation. Efforts to mitigate soot emissions from …

Background Studies have shown that long-term exposure to air pollution increases mortality.
However, evidence is limited for air-pollution levels below the most recent National Ambient …

Importance The US Environmental Protection Agency is required to reexamine its National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) every 5 years, but evidence of mortality risk is …

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is formed from the atmospheric oxidation of gas-phase
organic compounds leading to the formation of particle mass. Gasoline-and diesel-powered …

Assessment of air quality has been traditionally conducted by ground based monitoring, and
more recently by manned aircrafts and satellites. However, performing fast, comprehensive …

Background Long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (≤ 2.5 μg/m 3 in
aerodynamic diameter; PM 2.5) is significantly associated with increased risk of premature …

The idea of synergistic interactions between drugs and chemicals has been an important
issue in the biomedical world for over a century. As complex diseases, especially cancer …

As a kind of air pollution, haze has complex temporal and spatial characteristics. From the
perspective of time, haze has different causes and levels of pollution in different seasons …

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 …
