Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssociation Between Particulate Matter (PM10) Exposure and Cardiorespiratory Hospital Admissions: A Time Series AnalysisNur Nabila Abd Rahim, Abqariyah Yahya, Wan Rozita Wan MahiyuddinThis study aimed to evaluate the association between particulate matter (PM10) exposure and cardiorespiratory hospital admissions and develop a time series model for cardiorespiratory hospital admissions in Johor, Malaysia. Retrospective time series analysis was utilised to study cardiorespiratory hospital admissions for the study period 2015-2016. Over-dispersed Poisson generalized linear models with parametric smoothing functions were used to examine the association … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2021 · 6,917 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenotoxicity through Exposure to Particulate Matter (PM10) at two Sites in the Valle de Aburrá, ColombiaVerónica Estrada-Vélez, Lucelly López-López, Lina María Martínez-Sánchez et al.To establish differences in the genotoxic effect of particulate matter (PM10) in exposed individuals at two sites in the Valle de Aburrá (VA). This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 2 groups of individuals exposed to 67.7 and 45 µg/m3 of PM10 for a minimum of 8 hours/day. The frequency of Chromosomal Abnormalities (CAs) and the mitotic index were evaluated … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2019 · 8,368 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrediction of the Daily Mean PM10 Concentrations Using Linear ModelsJ. C.M. Pires, F. G. Martins, S. I.V. Sousa et al.The performance of five linear models to predict the daily mean PM10 concentrations was compared. The linear models proposed were: (i) multiple linear regression; (ii) principal component regression; (iii) independent component regression; (iv) quantile regression; and (v) partial least squares regression. The study was based on data from an urban site in Oporto Metropolitan Area and the analysed period was … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,132 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of Surface Morphology and Effectiveness of Common Nasopharyngeal Masks: A Case of Kathmandu, NepalPrasidha Raj Neupane, Iswor Bajracharya, Sunil Babu KhatryFacemasks are widely used worldwide to prevent inhaling airborneparticles and viruses, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19. To assess theeffectiveness of various facemasks against PM10 and PM2.5,experiments with a mannequin head were conducted at 10 and 55 LPM airflowrates. A total of 38 masks, including 26 CMs, 7 SMs, and 5 N95 masks, weretested against PM10 and PM2.5 at 55 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 7 Dec 2023 · 5,821 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsElemental Composition and Concentration of Atmospheric Particulate Matter in KuwaitJasem M. Al-Awadhi, Anwar B. Al-HelalHourly PM10 and PM2.5 samples were simultaneously collected at 10 and 3 urban sites, respectively in Kuwait from March 2014 to February 2015, to study the air quality and heavy metals content and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPHs) in PM10 samples. The annual average concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 were 152 and 97.3 μg/m3, respectively, with an average PM2.5/PM10 ratio of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 18 Feb 2017 · 7,623 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR-ALPHA AS BIOMARKERS OF EXPOSURE TO INDOOR POLLUTANTS AMONG PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN KLANG VALLEYJuliana Jalaludin, Sharifah Nazariah Syed Noh, Nur Faseeha Suhaimi, Abdah Md AkimPoor indoor air quality can be particularly harmful to children and interfere with the growth of their lung function as they spend much of their time indoors. In order to understand the mechanism of exposure in the airways, biomarkers were used as a surrogate for biological responses towards indoor air pollutants. This study aims to investigate the association between indoor … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 15 Aug 2014 · 8,078 accessesView PDF Cite
