TL;DR: The analysis indicated a statistically significant association between PM10 and all of the alternative measures of mortality, and suggested a 10-µg/m3 change in daily PM10 is associated with a 1-2% increase in natural mortality, a1-2%" increase in cardiovascular mortality and a 3-6% increaseIn respiratory mortality.

TL;DR: Ass associations were found between these pollution metrics and the daily occurrence of both upper and lower respiratory symptoms in each of the panels; however, time trends in the data cause some uncertainty about the magnitude of the effect of PM on respiratory symptoms.

TL;DR: Results showed that day-to-day fluctuations of these calculated indoor PM10 levels correlated well with near-ambient data and moderately well with ambient data collected at the nearby central monitoring site, implying that ambient monitors are able to capture the daily variations of indoor PM levels or even personal exposure.

TL;DR: Climate conditions in Thailand potentially affect both the health and productivity in occupational settings and it was found that four out of five study sites had heat indices in the ‘extreme caution,’ where heat cramp and exhaustion may be possible and one site showed a value of 41°C that falls into the category of ‘danger,” where sunstroke and heat exhaustion are likely and prolonged exposure may lead to heatstroke.
