Exceedances of national air quality standards for particulate matter in Western Australia: sources and health‐related impacts

National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter ; Final Rule

Health Impacts of Particulate Matter in Air using AirQ Model in Khorramabad City, Iran

Introduction: Air pollution due to particulate matter is a major environmental and health issue in all regions of the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the health impacts of PM10 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10μm) in Khorramabad city, Iran in 2014. Materials and methods: In this study, PM10 sampling was conducted by a high-volume sampler at flow rate of 1.1-1...

Characteristics and Sources of Fine Particulate Matter in Urban Air

Particulate matter is an important component of the air pollution mixture that has been linked to various adverse health outcomes as well as having general environmental effects. It is not yet clear which causative agents and underlying mechanisms are responsible for these adverse health effects. However, it is likely that the source of the particles, a factor which influences their characteris...

Fine Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards: Public Health Impact on Populations in the Northeastern United States

In this article we identify the magnitude of general and susceptible populations within the northeastern United States that would benefit from compliance with alternative U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) annual and 24-hr mass-based standards for particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter < or = 2.5 microm (PM2.5). Understanding the scale of susceptibility in relation to the ...
