From:CMAJ: Canadian Medical Association Journal (Vol. 194, Issue 20) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The tremendous global health burden related to COVID-19 means that identifying determinants of COVID-19 severity is important for prevention and intervention. We aimed to explore long-term exposure to ambient...

From:Health Reports (Vol. 31, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedBackground: A growing number of epidemiological studies have linked air pollution exposure to psychological conditions. Laboratory studies indicate that air pollutants can activate the neuroendocrine stress axis and...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 120, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAn extensive body of research has established the effects of exposure to fine particulate matter ([PM.sub.2.5]; particles < 2.5 [micro]m in aerodynamic diameter) on morbidity and mortality (Hu 2009; Laden et al. 2006;...
-
From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 18, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedIn his study, we use a combination of multivariate statistical methods to understand the relationships of PM.sub.2.5 with local meteorology and synoptic weather patterns in different regions of China across various...
-
From:Geoscientific Model Development (Vol. 14, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedThe nonlinear dependence of the dust saltation process on wind speed poses a challenge for models of varying resolutions. This challenge is of particular relevance for the next generation of chemical transport models...
-
From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 119, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Population exposure assessment methods that capture local-scale pollutant variability are needed for large-scale epidemiological studies and surveillance, policy, and regulatory purposes. Currently, such...
-
From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 128, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Living in greener areas of cities was linked to increased physical activity levels, improved mental well-being, and lowered harmful environmental exposures, all of which may affect human health. However,...
-
From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 124, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Numerous studies have examined associations between air pollution and pregnancy outcomes, but most have been restricted to urban populations living near monitors. OBJECTIVES: We examined the association...
-
From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 123, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: More than a decade of satellite observations offers global information about the trend and magnitude of human exposure to fine particulate matter ([PM.sub.2.5]). OBJECTIVE: In this study, we developed...
-
From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 122, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the relationship between long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter ([PM.sub.2.5]) and nonaccidental mortality in rural populations. OBJECTIVE: We examined the...
