Phytosampling-a supplementary tool for particulate matter (PM) speciation characterization.

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of PM phytosampling (PHS) as a supplementary tool to a classic PM sampler in respect of achieving better PM chemical composition assessment (primarily organic fraction).
Journal ArticleDOI

Property-activity relationship between physicochemical properties of PM2.5 and their activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.

TL;DR: In this paper , various ways, such as metal chelation, organic extraction, ROS consumption, charge neutralization and particle dispersion, were applied to interfere with the effects of metal ion, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), reactive oxygen species (ROS), charge and size.

Hazard Levels of Cooking Fumes in Republic of Korea Schools

TL;DR: In this paper , a study aimed to determine the hazard levels of school cooking fumes in Korea, based on public school cafeterias in one area, 25 locations were selected for the survey according to the number per school type, ventilation states, and environmental pre-assessments of Cafeterias, two inside cooking areas using a heat source and one outside cooking area were selected as control measurement points.

Melatonin Alleviates PM2.5-Induced Hepatic Steatosis and Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease in ApoE−/− Mice

TL;DR: This study is the first to show that melatonin alleviates the disturbance of PM2.5-triggered hepatic steatosis and liver damage by regulating the ROS-mediated PTP1B and Nrf2 signalling pathways in ApoE−/− mice, suggesting thatMelatonin administration might be a prospective therapy for the prevention and treatment of MAFLD associated with air pollution.

Estimates and 25-year trends of the global burden of disease attributable to ambient air pollution: an analysis of data from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2015

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored spatial and temporal trends in mortality and burden of disease attributable to ambient air pollution from 1990 to 2015 at global, regional, and country levels, and estimated the relative risk of mortality from ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and lower respiratory infections from epidemiological studies using nonlinear exposure-response functions spanning the global range of exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The contribution of outdoor air pollution sources to premature mortality on a global scale

TL;DR: It is found that emissions from residential energy use such as heating and cooking, prevalent in India and China, have the largest impact on premature mortality globally, being even more dominant if carbonaceous particles are assumed to be most toxic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid health transition in China, 1990-2010: findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010.

TL;DR: A comprehensive assessment of disease burden in China, how it changed between 1990 and 2010, and how China's health burden compares with other nations is done to guide policy responses to the changing disease spectrum in China.
Journal ArticleDOI

Outdoor air pollution and asthma

TL;DR: The effects of particulate matter, gaseous pollutants (ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulphur dioxide), and mixed traffic-related air pollution are discussed, focusing on clinical studies published in the previous 5 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of PM2.5 on the human respiratory system.

TL;DR: The population is recommended to limit exposure to air pollution and the authorities are urged to create an index of pollution related to health to help China combat the current air pollution problems.
