Air pollution caused by suspended particulate matter (PM) remains one of the key environmental challenges in Poland, particularly in the context of public health and spatial planning. This study presents a spatio-temporal analysis based on data from ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Fine particulate matter (PM) poses a public health risk, disproportionately impacting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In Peru, where ambient concentrations in urban areas significantly exceed the World Health Organization...

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are widely applied in air quality modelling because they can capture nonlinear interactions among pollutants and support reliable air pollutant index (API) forecasting. This study aims to identify the pollutants that...
Airborne micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are now recognized as persistent components of the atmospheric exposome. While their presence is established, their toxicological role remains incompletely understood. In this perspective, we propose the MNP Ex...
Accurate prediction of PM2.5 concentrations is crucial for public health and environmental management. However, effectively capturing complex spatiotemporal dependencies across multiple time scales remains a persistent challenge for existing methods,...
In India, ensuring clean air for all is vital and should not be limited to urbanites. However, the current air quality monitoring networks and management plans are limited to cities, air quality status across regions is yet to be measured, and compre...
Air pollution is the fifth and sixth leading risk factor for global mortality and reduced life expectancy. Studies have established a link between atmospheric pollution and the incidence, hospitalization, and mortality rates of pulmonary tuberculosis...
Urban air pollution poses a significant threat to public health and urban sustainability in megacities like Paris. We cast forecasting as a short-term, next-hour prediction task for PM2.5, NO, and CO, using hourly meteorology and recent pollutant his...
Fine particulate matter (PM) from wildfire smoke has emerged as a significant environmental health threat in the United States (U.S.), yet the combined roles of climate extremes and land cover in shaping wildfire smoke PM exposure remain poorly under...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the interplay between the genetic predisposition to successful ageing and air pollution on lung disease in healthy aged German women under the hypothesis that ageing and lung diseases share mechanisms of oxidative stress and...
