From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 124, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are at increased risk of dying within several hours to days following exposure to elevated levels of ambient air pollution. Little is known, however, about the...

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. 129, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases affect millions and negatively impact health care systems worldwide. Evidence suggests that air pollution may contribute to aggravation of neurodegeneration, but studies...

From:Environmental Health Perspectives (Vol. 120, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Few cohort studies have evaluated the risk of mortality associated with long-term exposure to line particulate matter [ [less than or equal to] 2.5 [micro] m in aerodynamic diameter ([PM.sub.2.5]). This is...
-
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: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: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:Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States (Vol. 114, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedCitation Only
-
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...
-
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. 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. 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. 122, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Inhaling fine particles (particulate matter with diameter [less than or equal to] 2.5 urn; [PM.sub.2.5]) can induce oxidative stress and inflammation, and may contribute to onset of preterm labor and other...
-
From:Health Reports (Vol. 28, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter ([PM.sub.2.5]) has been associated with a greater risk of non- accidental, cardiovascular and respiratory mortality in Canada. Research based on Canadian cohorts...
