Liu et al. (2025) present an innovative approach to PM source apportionment in urban environments by integrating Positive Matrix Factorization with machine learning (ML) models including XGBoost, Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). ...
Understanding the response of PM-bound toxic components to source variations under climate change is crucial for public health protection. However, the lack of long-term and multi-site observational data of toxic components limits such efforts. Here,...
Poor air quality poses significant threats to public health and environmental sustainability. To mitigate such risks, accurate air quality prediction is essential to inform intervention policies that effectively reduce pollutant levels. While past re...
Exposure to abnormally high concentrations of particulate matter and ozone can cause severe harm to human health, highlighting the need for real-time satellite monitoring to enable rapid responses and timely warnings. However, the existing methods fo...
Identifying and quantifying pollution sources and their associated health risks are essential for formulating effective pollution control policies. This study analyzed PM-bound trace elements based on one year of sampling data collected from a low-PM...
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) prevalence has risen steadily in California (CA) over several decades, with environmental factors like air pollution (AP) increasingly implicated. This study investigates associations between prenatal exposu...
IMPORTANCE: Recent data point to the impact of non-traditional environmental and social factors on Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) mortality. Our study aimed to determine the extent to which antecedent air pollution, social vulnerability...
Urban air pollution poses significant health risks, especially to pedestrians due to their proximity to pollutants and lack of physical protection. Understanding the influence of built environment factors is essential to mitigate this pollution and s...
Biological particulate matter (BioPM) in the urban environment can affect human health and climate. Pollen, a key BioPM component, produces smaller particles when fragmented, significantly impacting public health. However, detecting pollen fragmentat...
PM pollution is one of the prominent environmental issues currently faced in China, influenced by various factors and showed significant spatial differences. In this study, the Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) model was employed in combinat...
