BACKGROUND: Ultrafine particles (UFPs) have been associated with adverse health outcomes in children, but studies are often limited by surrogate estimates of exposure. Accurately...
Abstract – Background: Climate change is likely to increase the threat of wildfires, and little is known about how wildfires affect health in exposed communities. A better understanding of...
A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the Expert Panel on Population and Prevention Science of the American Heart Association
Abstract - Air pollution is a heterogeneous,...
Filter-based BC measurement techniques such as the Continuous Soot Monitoring System (COSMOS) are particularly well suited to long-term observations of black carbon (BC) due to their relative...
Abstract - Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder with increasing prevalence worldwide, yet with unclear etiology.
Objective: To explore the...
The warming of Arctic region has recently gained worldwide attention due to its projected impacts on global climate system. The effect of anthropogenic black carbon (BC) aerosol on snow is of...
Exposure to ambient particulate matter and elevated blood pressure are risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Microvascular changes might be an important pathway in explaining...
Abstract - Exposure to particulate matter (PM) is associated with adverse health effects, including chronic lung diseases, lung cancer and cardiovascular disease. Personal exposure varies...
Black carbon (BC) particles emitted from incomplete combustion of fossil fuel and biomass and deposited on snow and ice darken the surface and reduce the surface albedo. Even small initial surface...
Ambient particulate matter (PM) exposures have adverse impacts on public health, but research evaluating indoor PM concentrations in rural homes in the United States using wood as fuel for heating...
