Novel sensor technologies towards environmental health monitoring in urban environments: a case study in the Niger Delta (Nigeria).
TL;DR: The applicability of IR spectroscopy to detect subtle changes in target biological molecules within sentinel organisms along with its low-cost yet high-throughput potential suggests that biospectroscopy permits real-time evaluation of environmental exposure effects.

Contribution of traffic and tobacco smoke in the distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on outdoor and indoor PM2.5
Dionísia Castro,Klara Slezakova,Cristina Delerue-Matos,Maria C.M. Alvim-Ferraz,Simone Morais,Maria do Carmo Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of traffic emissions and tobacco smoke on the level of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and on the distribution of 15 PAHs regarded as priority pollutants by the US-EPA on PM2.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with PM2.5 within boundary layer: Cloud/fog and regional transport
Minmin Yang,Yan Wang,Hongli Li,Tao Li,Xiaoling Nie,Fangfang Cao,Fengchun Yang,Zhe Wang,Tao Wang,Guanghao Qie,Tong Jin,Lili Du,Wenxing Wang +12 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the cloud/fog and rain conditions cause lower PAHs levels, which are mainly affected by regional transport with the main emissions by mobile vehicle and steel industry, which contributed about 56.0% to the totalPAHs in the area of Mount Lushan.

Roby Greenwald,Michael H. Bergin,Fuyuen Yip,Tegan K. Boehmer,Priya Kewada,Martin M. Shafer,James J. Schauer,Jeremy A. Sarnat +7 more
TL;DR: The Atlanta Commuters Exposure (ACE) study as discussed by the authors was designed to measure in-cabin exposure to roadway particulate pollution and acute health response in a panel of adults with and without asthma following a 2-h scripted route along major highways in Atlanta.

Seasonal variations of concentrations, profiles and possible sources of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from Taihu Lake, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated temporal and spatial variations in PAH concentrations, composition and possible source categories, 29 sediment samples were collected from Taihu Lake during both the flooding and dry seasons of the lake.

TL;DR: Increased mortality is associated with sulfate and fine particulate air pollution at levels commonly found in U.S. cities, although the increase in risk is not attributable to tobacco smoking, although other unmeasured correlates of pollution cannot be excluded with certainty.

PAH source fingerprints for coke ovens, diesel and, gasoline engines, highway tunnels, and wood combustion emissions
TL;DR: In this article, a modified high-volume sampling method (PS-1 sampler) was employed to collect airborne polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in both the particulate and gas phases.

Source Apportionment of Atmospheric Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Collected from an Urban Location in Birmingham, U.K.
TL;DR: In this paper, a seasonal sampling campaign was undertaken at an urban location in Birmingham, U.K., in which high-volume samplers were used to collect particulate and vapor-phase polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by means of filter papers and polyurethane foam plugs.

Air pollution and daily mortality: a review and meta analysis.
TL;DR: A detailed examination of data from Philadelphia showed that control for season and weather was adequate for removing all long-term seasonal and subseasonal patterns from the mortality data, and that using a very flexible nonlinear fit to the weather factors did not disturb the association with TSP.
