Abstract
Much has been written about airborne particulate matter, and countless meetings, workshops and conferences have been held, both nationally and internationally, to address the many scientific challenges which they present, especially when one considers their effects on human health. Particles are a complex airborne pollutant, because of their many different characteristics and the many different ways in which they can be measured and detected. This article summarises the current state of knowledge on the effects of particulate matter and health, based primarily on epidemiological studies which focused on exposure to particle mass, and more recently, on particle number concentration.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
