Hormesis for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5).
The hypothesis of hormesis - that substances that harm health at high exposures can reduce risks below background at low exposures, e.g., if they activate defenses without overwhelming them - becomes important for practical policy making if it holds for regulated substances. Recently, the U.S. EPA concluded that reductions in ambient concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in air caus...
متن کاملArtificial neural network forecast application for fine particulate matter concentration using meteorological data
Most parts of the urban areas are faced with the problem of floating fine particulate matter. Therefore, it is crucial to estimate the amounts of fine particulate matter concentrations through the urban atmosphere. In this research, an artificial neural network technique was utilized to model the PM2.5 dispersion in Tehran City. Factors which are influencing the predicted value consi...
متن کاملShort-term effect of fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) and ozone on daily mortality in Lisbon, Portugal.
INTRODUCTION Urban ambient air pollution exposures continue to be a global public health concern. Although air quality targets are often exceeded in Lisbon, the largest city in Portugal, there is currently no study that has assessed the quantitative impact of these pollutants on daily mortality. MATERIALS AND METHOD In this study, we conduct a time series analysis using generalized additive m...
متن کاملParticulate Matter (Fine Particle) and Urologic Diseases
Particulate matter (PM) has been found to damage vital body organs, including the lungs and heart, through vascular damage and oxidative stress. Recently, renal function and chronic urologic diseases have also been found to be related to PM. To investigate this, we reviewed the characteristics of PM related to renal toxicity, including recent studies on the associations of urologic diseases wit...
متن کاملUrban particulate matter (PM) suppresses airway antibacterial defence
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have shown that urban particulate matter (PM) increases the risk of respiratory infection. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. PM has been postulated to suppress the activation of airway epithelial innate defence in response to infection. METHODS The effects of PM on antibacterial defence were studied using an in vitro infection model. ...
