Airborne Particulate Matter and Human Health: A Review (2005, background): “Most of these efforts have not been able to implicate individual chemical species, but rather have found that a variety of chemical as well as physical properties of aerosols, such as particle number, surface area, and mass, are associated with health effects (Harrison and Yin 2000).”
Atmospheric Movement of Microorganisms in Clouds of Desert Dust and Implications for Human Health (2007, background): “), atmospheric chemical alteration, size fractionation, and extreme particulate load (5, 44, 88, 131, 174, 176, 263).”
Particle surface characteristics may play an important role in phytotoxicity of alumina nanoparticles. (2005, background): “There is also evidence at the same time supporting the postulation that not a single major or trace chemical component of the particles is responsible for the adverse effects ( Harrison and Yin, 2000; Obot et al., 2002).”
Oxidative Stress and Air Pollution Exposure (2011, background): “Generally, environmental particles include inorganic components (sulfates, nitrates, ammonium, chloride, and trace metals), elemental and organic carbon, biological components (bacteria, spores, and pollens), and adsorbed volatile and semivolatile organic compounds [3].”
Enhancement of aerosol characterization using synergy of lidar and sun - photometer coincident observations: the GARRLiC algorithm (2013, background): “Also, aerosol pollution affects a population’s health (e.g.Jones, 1999; Harrison and Yin, 2000) and ecological equilibrium (e.g. Barker and Tingey, 1992).”
Analysis of the field dependence of remanent magnetization curves (2003, background): “[37] Urban atmospheric PM is the subject of several studies because of its negative effects on human health [Harrison and Yin, 2000].”
