Background Exposure to heat, air pollution, and pollen are associated with health outcomes,
including cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Studies assessing the health impacts of …

Exposure to air pollutants has been previously associated with respiratory viral infections,
including influenza, measles, mumps, rhinovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus …

Trees remove air pollution by the interception of particulate matter on plant surfaces and the
absorption of gaseous pollutants through the leaf stomata. However, the magnitude and …

Human exposure to aerosols has been associated with diseases and death, reducing the
population's life expectancy up to a few years. Indoor particulate matter is predominant in …

Although the existing studies have paid much attention to the issue on the impacts of air
pollution on public health, they fail to consider the spatial spillover effect and externality of …

Background Short-term exposure to major air pollutants (O3, CO, NO2, SO2, PM10, and
PM2. 5) has been associated with respiratory risk. However, evidence on the risk of chronic …

We link daily air pollution exposure to measures of contemporaneous health for
communities surrounding the twelve largest airports in California. These airports are some of …

Moderate effects of pollution on health may exert important influences on work. We exploit
exogenous variation in pollution due to the closure of a large refinery in Mexico City to …

Objective The association between exposure to ambient particles with a median
aerodynamic diameter less than 10/2.5 µm (particulate matter, PM10/2.5) and COPD …

The ability of certain components of particulate matter to induce oxidative stress through the
generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo may be one mechanism accounting for …
