Quantifying Aviation-Related Contributions to Ambient Ultrafine Particle Number Concentrations Using Interpretable Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Ultrafine particles (UFP, < 100 nm) are abundantly emitted by aircraft, but quantifying their contributions to ambient particle number concentrations (PNC) is challenging due to confounding from local traffic and complex interactions between aircraf...

Refining Air Pollution Exposure Estimates: A Comparison of Citywide and Neighborhood Land Use Regression Models in Toronto.

Environmental science & technology
Land use regression (LUR) models assess air pollution exposure but often struggle with transferability (predicting concentrations in areas without measurements) and generalizability (capturing spatial patterns across neighborhoods). This study evalua...

Analysis of spatiotemporal variation characteristics of atmospheric quality in China's city clusters from 2015 to 2023 and their socio-economic driving forces.

Journal of environmental management
With the rapid economic development in China, air quality issues have emerged as major challenges to the country's sustainable development. This study utilizes ground monitoring data from 1248 monitoring Stations across China, constructs a kilometer ...

Association between air pollution and type II diabetes in Italy from clinical data and population-weighted exposure at the municipality level.

Scientific reports
A growing body of literature supports the association between ambient particulate pollution and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Both issues are particularly relevant in Italy. This study investigates the relationship between T2DM and exposure to ...

Familial Differences in Personal PM Exposure within a Rural African Community Explained with Spatiotemporal Exposure Apportionment.

Environmental science & technology
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) from solid-fuel combustion is a major determinant of global morbidity and mortality. However, variations in exposure remain uncertain across many high-risk populations. This work describes personal PM exposure...

Assessing 3-D variability of ultrafine particle using a Geo-AI modelling approach: A case study in Zhunan-Miaoli, Taiwan.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Previous air pollution modeling studies have predominantly emphasized horizontal distributions, overlooking the critical vertical variability of pollutant concentrations in urban environments. Therefore, the three-dimensional (3-D) behavior of air po...

Analysis of interactions of particle-associated oxidative potential sources using multilayer perceptron neural networks: A case study in Shenyang, China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
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 ...

Association of ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and its constituents with risk of pulmonary nodules in a lung cancer screening project.

Environmental research
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.

Using open data to derive parsimonious data-driven models for uncovering the influence of local traffic and meteorology on air quality: The case of Madrid.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
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...

Fusing satellite imagery and ground-based observations for PM air pollution modeling in Iran using a deep learning approach.

Scientific reports
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...
