Background Fine particulate matter< 2.5 µm in diameter (PM2. 5) has known effects on
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, no study has quantified and compared the …

Abstract Background Fine particulate matter (Particulate matter with diameter≤ 2.5 μm) is
associated with multiple health outcomes, with varying effects across seasons and locations …

Exposure to outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2. 5) is a leading risk factor for mortality. We
develop global estimates of annual PM2. 5 concentrations and trends for 1998–2018 using …

Ambient air pollution is a health concern in Latin America given its large urban population
exposed to levels above recommended guidelines. Yet no studies have examined the …

Background Ambient fine particulate matter pollution (PM2. 5) is one leading cause of
disease burden, but no study has quantified the association between daily PM2. 5 exposure …

This review aimed to systematically summarize the epidemiological literature on the
cardiorespiratory effects of PM 2.5 published during the 13 th Five-Year Plan period (2016 …

Air pollution epidemiology studies have primarily investigated long-and short-term
exposures separately, have used multiplicative models, and have been associational …

Background The concentration-response relationship between mortality and long-term
exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) has not been fully elucidated, especially at high …

Few cohort studies explored the associations of long-term exposure to ambient fine
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less (PM 2.5) and its chemical …

Detailed, reliable, and continuous monitoring of aerosol optical depth (AOD) is essential for
air quality management and protection of human health. The satellite-based AOD datasets …
