TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the particle deposition rate of size classified particles in the size range from 0.015 to 6.0μm in residential houses in Brisbane, Australia, and determined the deposition rates by regression fitting of the measured size-resolved particle number and PM 2.5 concentration decay curves.

TL;DR: In this article, a 5-year monitoring period showed that the mean particle number concentration on weekdays was (8.8±0.1)×103 cm−3 and on weekends (5.9± 0.2)× 103 cm −3, a difference of 47%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the number and mass of indoor particles and human activity in 15 houses in a residential suburb of Brisbane during winter in 1999, and found that there were clear diurnal variations in both particle number and approximation of PM2.5 concentrations for all the investigated houses.

TL;DR: It is important to evaluate the modifying role of ozone when estimating temperature-related health impacts and to further investigate the reasons behind the regional variability and mechanism for the interaction between temperature and ozone, which indicate that ozone positively modified the temperature-CVM associations across the different regions.
Abstract: Objectives: Both ambient ozone and temperature are associated with human health. However, few data are available on whether ozone modifies temperature effects. This study aims to explore whether ozone modified associations between maximum temperature and cardiovascular mortality in the USA. Methods: The authors obtained data from the US National Morbidity, Mortality, and Air Pollution Study (NMMAPS) website. They used two time-series Poisson regression models (a response surface model and a stratification model) to examine whether ozone modified associations between maximum temperature and cardiovascular mortality (CVM) in 95 large US communities during 1987–2000 in summer (June to September). Bayesian meta-analysis was used to pool estimates in each community. Results: The response surface model was used to examine the joint effects of temperature and ozone on CVM in summer. Results indicate that ozone positively modified the temperature-CVM associations across the different regions. The stratification model quantified the temperature-CVM associations across different levels of ozone. Results show that in general the higher the ozone concentration, the stronger the temperature-CVM associations across the communities. A 10uC increase in temperature on the same day was associated with an increase in CVM by 1.17% and 8.31% for the lowest and highest level of ozone concentrations in all communities, respectively. Conclusion: Ozone modified temperature effects in different regions in the USA. It is important to evaluate the modifying role of ozone when estimating temperaturerelated health impacts and to further investigate the reasons behind the regional variability and mechanism for the interaction between temperature and ozone.
