The impact of air exchange rate on ambient air pollution exposure and inequalities across all residential parcels in Massachusetts.
TL;DR: This work estimated AER for all Massachusetts residential parcels using publicly-available data and regression models associating AER with housing characteristics, and conducted an exposure disparities analysis, considering ambient PM2.5 concentrations and residential AERs.

TL;DR: Elderly and women were susceptible subpopulations showing more sensitivity to dust compared with the rest of the population and staying indoors and using facial respirators under these emergency conditions could be effective in protecting these sensitive subjects against dust.

Collaborative Bicycle Sensing for Air Pollution on Roadway
TL;DR: A Sensing Box is developed with affordable portable sensors, a GPS receiver, and a Bluetooth, and these Sensing box are mounted in a public bicycle sharing system to monitor air pollutants on roadways, which forms a mobile large scale monitoring network.

TL;DR: Inhaled ultrafine titanium dioxide particles were found on the luminal side of airways and alveoli, in all major lung tissue compartments and cells, and within capillaries, while particle uptake in vitro did not occur by any of the expected endocytic processes, but rather by diffusion or adhesive interactions.
Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders: Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, United States, 2006. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Surveillance Summaries. Volume 58, Number SS-10.
TL;DR: The identified prevalence of ASDs in U.S. children aged 8 years was estimated through a systematic retrospective review of evaluation records in multiple sites participating in the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network and presence of an identified ASD was determined through a review of data abstracted from developmental evaluation records by trained clinician reviewers.

Air pollution: mechanisms of neuroinflammation and CNS disease
TL;DR: Recent findings detailing the mechanisms through which air pollution reaches the brain and activates the resident innate immune response to become a chronic source of pro-inflammatory factors and ROS, culminating in CNS disease are summarized.
