“…Cells were exposed to a complex mixture that includes nitrogen dioxide or ozone. The exposure to particles NO 2 and O 3 was shown to cause inflammation in human cells exposed to air pollution [123]. Recently, lung cell cultures, grown at the ALI, were directly exposed to ambient air in summer or winter.…”

Sea breeze (SB) phenomena may strongly influence air quality and lead to important effects on human health. In order to study the impact of SB dynamics on the properties and toxicity of aerosols, an atmospheric mobile unit was deployed during a field campaign performed in an urbanized and industrialized coastal area in Northern France. This unit combines aerosol samplers, two scanning lidars (Doppler and elastic) and an air-liquid interface (ALI, Vitrocell®) in vitro cell exposure device. Our study highlights that after the passage of an SB front, the top of the atmospheric boundary layer collapses as the thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) develops, which leads to high aerosol extinction coefficient values (>0.4 km−1) and an increase of PM2.5 and NOx concentrations in the SB current. The number-size distribution of particles indicates a high proportion of fine particles (with diameter below 500 nm), while the volume-size distribution shows a major mode of coarse particles centered on 2–3 µm. Individual particle analyses performed by cryo-transmission scanning electron microscopy (cryo-TSEM)-EDX highlights that submicronic particles contained a high fraction of secondary compounds, which may result from nucleation and/or condensation of condensable species (vapors or gaseous species after photo-oxidation). Secondary aerosol (SA) formation can be enhanced in some areas, by the interaction between the SB flow and the upper continental air mass, particularly due to the effect of both turbulence and temperature/humidity gradients between these two contrasting air masses. Potential areas of SA formation are located near the ground, during the SB front passage and in the vicinity of the SB current top. During the sea breeze event, an increase in the oxidative stress and inflammation processes in exposed lung cells, compared to the unexposed cells, can also be seen. In some instances, short singularity periods are observed during SB, corresponding to a double flow structure. It consists of two adjacent SB currents that induce an important increase of the TIBL top, improving the pollutants dispersion. This is associated with a substantial decrease of aerosol mass concentrations.

“…The results showed that acute bronchitis was the most serious affected by PM10 pollution, and policy measures should be taken to reduce carbon dioxide and pollutant emissions. Dauch et al [36] explored the relationship between short-term exposure to air pollution and lung function in northern French cities, and the relationship between non-respiratory adult non-respiratory diseases in middle-aged non-smoking adults. The results showed that O 3 increased in the blood.…”

There is a close and important relationship between environmental pollution and public health, and environmental pollution has an important impact on the public health. This study employed the two-stage meta-frontier dynamic network data envelopment analysis (TMDN-DEA) model to explore the environment pollution effects from energy consumption on the mortality of children and adult, tuberculosis rate, survival rate and health expenditure efficiencies in 28 EU countries and 53 non-EU countries from 2010 to 2014. We calculated the overall efficiency scores and the technology gap ratios of each EU and non-EU countries and the efficiencies of input and output variables in the production and health stage. The average overall efficiencies each year in EU countries are higher than in the non-EU countries. But EU countries have higher energy efficiency than non-EU countries, and non-EU countries have higher health efficiency than EU countries. The health expenditure efficiencies in the EU countries are obviously lower than those in non-EU countries. The renewable energy efficiencies are obviously higher than the non-renewable energy efficiencies; PM2.5 efficiencies are obviously higher than the CO2 efficiencies and the children’s mortality rate efficiencies are higher than the adult’s mortality rate efficiencies for EU countries and non-EU countries. The government management in the EU and non-EU countries should be strengthened to reduce the air pollutant and carbon dioxide emissions and raise energy transformation to the clean energy in renewable energy and improve health efficiencies in medical and health care field.

Kasdagli et al [58] used a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the relationship between air pollution exposure and Parkinson's disease (PD), noting that there is insufficient evidence of air pollution and PD caused by traffic.…”

The rapid growth of China's economy in recent years has greatly improved its citizens' living standards, but economic growth consumes many various energy sources as well as produces harmful air pollution. Nitrogen oxides, SO 2 (sulfur dioxide), and other polluting gases are damaging the environment and people's health, with a particular spike in incidences of many air pollution-related diseases in recent years. While there have been many documents discussing China's energy and environmental issues in the past, few of them analyze economic development, air pollution, and residents' health together. Therefore, this study uses the modified undesirable dynamic two-stage DEA (data envelopment analysis) model to explore the economic, environmental, and health efficiencies of 30 provinces in China. The empirical results show the following: (1) Most provinces have lower efficiency values in the health stage than in the production stage. (2) Among the provinces with annual efficiency values below 1, their energy consumption, CO 2 (carbon dioxide), and NOx (nitrogen oxide) efficiency values have mostly declined from 2013 to 2016, while their SO 2 efficiency values have increased (less SO 2 emissions). (3) The growth rate of SO 2 efficiency in 2016 for 10 provinces is much higher than in previous years. (4) The health expenditure efficiencies of most provinces are at a lower level and show room for improvement. (5) In most provinces, the mortality rate is higher, but on a decreasing trend. (6) Finally, as representative for a typical respiratory infection, most provinces have a high level of tuberculosis efficiency, indicating that most areas of China are highly effective at respiratory disease governance.With the largest coal demand in the world, the China government attaches great importance to the prevention and treatment of air pollution. The World Energy Outlook 2017 China Special Report [3] showed that China will continue in its efforts to intensify energy technology innovation, improve the clean and efficient use of fossil energy, accelerate the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient modern energy system, and strive to fulfill its responsibilities and obligations. "The Action Plan for the Comprehensive Management of Air Pollution in the Autumn and Winter of 2019-2020 in the Yangtze River Delta Region" [4] presents the regulation of air pollution in 41 cities at the prefecture level and above in this region for adjusting the industrial structure of heavily polluting industries. Many past research studies have focused on the efficiency of production, energy, environment, treatment and undesirable output analyses, such as . In addition to energy and environmental efficiency analyses, some scholars have explored the effects of exposure to air pollution on human health, such as [42][43][44][45][46][47].Past related literature is generally based on static analysis, lacking time considerations and mostly focusing on energy and environmental topics. Moreover, very few studies have jointly investigated econo...
