Metabolic dysregulations underlying the pulmonary toxicity of atmospheric fine particulate matter: focus on energy-producing pathways and lipid metabolism

TL;DR: Overall, there is compelling evidence that the metabolism of lung cells is an early target of PM2.5 exposure, with changes in metabolic pathways being observed at PM doses that do not cause extensive cell death or tissue injury.

Environmental and safety aspects of bionanotechnology

TL;DR: In this article , a detailed overview of nanopollution and its hazardous effect on air quality, land, and aquatic toxicity is discussed. But the majorly overlooked aspect of nanoparticles and ecotoxicity is the core of this chapter; however, it also explains the savior aspects of BNT.

A novel water film enhanced electrostatic agglomeration process to remove fine particles: performance and mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper , a novel wet electrostatic agglomeration (WEA) process based on a water film was established for the first time, and the fine particle removal and process mechanism were investigated.

Spectral Analysis Approach for Assessing Accuracy of a Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor Network Data

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used frequency analysis of a two-year data record of PM 2 . 5 from both the EPA and Purple Air (PA), a low-cost sensor network, to identify the contribution of individual periodic sources to local air quality in Chicago.

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.

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.
