Journal ArticleDOI
Particles, air quality, policy and health
TL;DR: This article reviews the current approaches to source apportionment of ambient particles and the latest evidence for their health effects, and describes the current metrics, policies and legislation for the protection of public health from ambient particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Personal exposure monitoring of PM2.5 in indoor and outdoor microenvironments
Susanne Steinle,Stefan Reis,Clive E. Sabel,Sean Semple,Marsailidh Twigg,Christine F. Braban,Sarah Leeson,Mathew R. Heal,David Harrison,Chun Lin,Hao Wu +10 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that due to the substantial variability across and between MEs, it is essential to measure near-complete exposure pathways to allow for a comprehensive assessment of the exposure risk a person encounters on a daily basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total and water-soluble trace metal content of urban background PM10, PM2.5 and black smoke in Edinburgh, UK
TL;DR: In this article, the authors co-located 24-hour samples of PM10, PM2.5 and black smoke (BS) at an urban background site in Edinburgh, and each sample sequentially extracted with ultra-pure water, then concentrated HNO3/HCl, and analyzed for Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble transition metals cause the pro-inflammatory effects of welding fumes in vitro.
Jane D McNeilly,Mathew R. Heal,Iain J. Beverland,Alan Howe,Mark D. Gibson,Leon R. Hibbs,William MacNee,Ken Donaldson +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the enhanced pro-inflammatory responses of welding fume particulates are mediated by soluble transition metal components via an oxidative stress mechanism is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
