Airborne fiber particles: Types, size and concentration observed in Beijing

Microplastic in atmospheric fallouts of a developing Southeast Asian megacity under tropical climate

“…Since the evidence of the presence of microplastics in atmospheric fallouts (Dris et al, 2015), concerns and number of sites studied regarding airborne microplastics have increased. Studies are focusing on different types of environments from mountainous remote area (Allen et al, 2019), dense urban zone (Li et al, 2020), to oceanic environments (Wang et al,202 0). The fate of microplastics in the atmosphere is only partly understood.…”

Air quality improvement in response to intensified control strategies in Beijing during 2013–2019

“…In recent decades, China has achieved rapid industrialization and urbanization. As a result, severe air pollution problems appeared and became a major concern in China, especially in Beijing (Wang et al, 2018b;Zhang, 2019;Li et al, 2019b;Xu and Zhang, 2020). Air pollution has generated great public concern due to its influence on atmospheric visibility, human health, and global climate change (Sheehan et al, 2016;Huang et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2019c;Liu et al, 2020).…”

Particle-induced oxidative damage by indoor size-segregated particulate matter from coal-burning homes in the Xuanwei lung cancer epidemic area, Yunnan Province, China

“…There are extensive studies dealing with the health effects of airborne particulate matter (PM) (Rückerl et al, 2011;Brauer et al, 2012;Balakrishnan et al, 2015;Hu et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2017;Li et al, 2020;Xing et al, 2020). Long-term exposure to PM2.5 (i.e.…”
