Ultrafine particles in urban air and respiratory health among adult asthmatics

TL;DR: Air quality monitoring should include particle number concentrations, which mainly reflect ultrafine particles, which are associated with adverse health effects and contribute to excess mortality in epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Number concentration and size of particles in urban air: effects on spirometric lung function in adult asthmatic subjects.

TL;DR: The present results support the need to monitor the particle number and size distributions in urban air in addition to mass and the number of accumulation mode particles was consistently inversely associated with PEFR in spirometry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human–Dromedary Camel Interactions and the Risk of Acquiring Zoonotic Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Infection

TL;DR: It is reasonable to assume, although difficult to measure, that the sensitivity of public health surveillance to detect previously unknown diseases is lower in East Africa than in Saudi Arabia and that sporadic human cases may have gone undetected there.
