The oxidative potential (OP) of particulate matter (PM) is a possible indicator for assessing the oxidative-imbalance risk caused by PM exposure. The OP contributions of different PM sources exhibit nonlinear relationships, and the specific patterns ...
BACKGROUND: Ambient fine particulate matter (PM) is a significant global public health concern. However, large-scale research has yet to explore the effects of long-term PM exposure on the pulmonary nodule characteristics.
Historical racial and ethnic disparities in short-term exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO) have rarely been investigated, primarily due to the lack of spatiotemporally resolved NO data covering the historical period. In this study, we used publ...

BACKGROUND: Although the relationship between environmental pollutants and respiratory health has received widespread attention, no studies have explored the association between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and preserved ratio impaired spirometr...
Environmental-friendly fluorocarbon insulating gases have emerged as the preferred substitutes for SF due to their low global warming potential (GWP) and excellent insulation properties. However, current gases face challenges in meeting multiple perf...
Air pollution remains a critical public health and environmental challenge, particularly in urban areas where traffic emissions and meteorological conditions strongly influence air quality. While Machine Learning (ML) techniques have been increasingl...
In this study, we investigated the correlation between air pollution indicators and pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) incidence and mortality rates across provincial administrative regions of China from January 2013 to December 2020 to develop predictive m...
With the rapid advancement of urbanization and industrialization in cities, air pollution has become one of the significant environmental challenges and issues in many countries. The concentration of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of...
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with increasing prevalence worldwide. Air pollution may be a major contributor to the rise in ASD cases. This study investigated how the risk of ASD associated with prenatal...
Rising global temperatures have escalated wildfire frequency, and the resulting fine-mode aerosol emissions pose a significant threat to the global ecosystem. However, how these emissions vary with tree genera remains largely unexplored. In this stud...
