Motivated by growing considerations of the scale, severity, and risks associated with human
exposure to indoor particulate matter, this work reviewed existing literature to:(i) identify state …

Inhalation of metal (loid) s in ambient particulate matter (APM) represents a significant
exposure pathway to humans. Although exposure assessment associated with this pathway …

Heavy metals are dangerous because they tend to bioaccumulate. Bioaccumulation means
an increase in the concentration of a chemical in a biological organism over time, compared …

This study evaluates the bioaccessibility and health risks related to heavy metals (Cd, Cr,
Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn and metalloid As) in airborne dust samples (TSP and PM 2.5) in …

Sources and levels of heavy metals (HMs) in soil and dust of urban and suburban areas in
Riyadh (industrial city) and Mahad AD'Dahab (mining area) cities in Saudi Arabia were …

Particulate matter (PM) as an air pollutant can be harmful for human health through allergic,
mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Although the main focus is on decreasing air pollution …

The abundance and the behavior of metals (Al, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Ag, Cd, Sn,
Ba, Pt, Hg, and Pb) and ions (Na+ K+ Mg2+ Ca2+, NH4+, Cl-, NO3-, SO42-, PO43-, and …

Fine particles emitted from vehicles have adverse health effects because of their sizes and
chemical compositions. Therefore, this study attempted to characterize the metals in nano …

The atmosphere is a complex medium in which several phases coexist: gas, aerosol
particles, condensed water, liquid, and ice particles. All of the interactions that may occur …

The size distributions of airborne particulate matter (PM) and associated heavy metals Pb,
Cd, Ni, Cr, V, Mn, Cu and Fe in different inhalable fractions (< 0.8 μm, 0.8–1.3 μm, 1.3–2.7 …
