Airborne Particulate Matter and Mortality: Timescale Effects in Four US Cities

Airborne particulate matter and mortality: timescale effects in four US cities.

While time-series studies have consistently provided evidence for an effect of particulate air pollution on mortality, uncertainty remains as to the extent of the life-shortening implied by those associations. In this paper, the authors estimate the association between air pollution and mortality using different timescales of variation in the air pollution time series to gain further insight in...

Health effects of airborne particulate matter and the Indian scenario

Airborne suspended particulate matter (SPM) is a serious worldwide concern since it is linked with adverse health effects. Several epidemiological studies have been made across the world revealing the association of SPM in air with acute and chronic respiratory disorders, lung cancer, morbidity and mortality. Odds ratio estimated by several studies of the dose–response relationship for particul...

Airborne Particulate Matter Density in Traditional Bakeries of Saveh, Central of Iran, in 2020

Introduction: High concentration of inhalable airborne particles can increase the risk of lung disease in exposed people. This study aimed to determine the respirable particulate matter (PM5) concentration in traditional bakeries of Saveh in 2020. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 25 bakeries where the samples were collected by cyclone and teflon...
