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 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 کاملPM Exposure Assessment Research: Supplement to Accomplishments of the Particulate Matter (PM) Centers (1999-2005)
This document summarizes the progress made by the EPA Particulate Matter (PM) Centers during their first 6 years in identifying and understanding human exposures to PM air pollution since the mid-course report prepared in 2002 (Lippmann et al., 2003). When the PM Centers were designated in 1999, the primary body of evidence for personal and population-based exposures to ambient air PM consisted...
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. ...
