Identifying Patterns and Sources of Fine and Ultrafine Particulate Matter in London Using Mobile Measurements of Lung-Deposited Surface Area

Rishabh U. Shah et al.

Summary: This study conducted mobile measurements over a year to assess the concentration of LDSA, PM2.5, BC, and NO2 in central London. The results show that PM2.5 is not a reliable indicator of tailpipe emissions on major roadways, but higher concentrations of PM2.5 and NO2 are found in commercial neighborhoods with more restaurants. By isolating the impacts of traffic and restaurants, it is demonstrated that both sources have comparable effects on LDSA.

Sources, characteristics, toxicity, and control of ultrafine particles: An overview

Andrea L. Moreno-Rios et al.

Summary: Air pollution caused by particulate matter is a major threat to human health, especially in large cities. The size, composition, and toxicity of these particles vary. Ultrafine particles have a greater impact on human health as they can enter the lungs and vital organs, leading to diseases. In addition, particulate matter pollution is associated with respiratory conditions, genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity.

A Suitable Model for Spatiotemporal Particulate Matter Concentration Prediction in Rural and Urban Landscapes, Thailand

Pirada Tongprasert et al.

Summary: This study involves spatiotemporal prediction of particulate matter (PM) concentrations in rural and urban landscapes in Thailand, using MODIS AOD and considering significant PM factors. The research identifies important factors affecting PM concentrations and predicts PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations using geographically weighted regression (GWR) and mixed-effect model (MEM). The results suggest that the GWR model is more suitable for predicting PM concentrations, and it can be used to predict PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in different seasons and areas in Thailand.

Analysis of PM2.5 and Meteorological Variables Using Enhanced Geospatial Techniques in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Cartagena de Indias City (Colombia)

Jose Antonio Alvarez Aldegunde et al.

Summary: The study aims to accurately represent the distribution of PM2.5 and meteorological variables in the urban district of Cartagena. By using ordinary kriging and empirical Bayesian kriging regression prediction, areas exceeding the PM2.5 concentration limits were identified in the city, and three main weather variables were continuously described.

A Framework for Biosensors Assisted by Multiphoton Effects and Machine Learning

Jose Alberto Arano-Martinez et al.

Summary: The ability to interpret information through automatic sensors is crucial in modern technology. Biosensors have great potential in evaluating biological information and detecting danger, especially in the context of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This article provides a comprehensive overview of optical biosensors, emphasizing the role of nonlinear optics and machine learning in improving their performance. The use of multiphoton interactions and nonlinear optical effects opens up new possibilities for expanding the applications of optical biosensors. Machine learning methods can also be utilized to identify complex agents and patterns in detecting dynamic objects in the human body.

Relationships between Meteorological and Particulate Matter Concentrations (PM2.5 and PM10) during the Haze Period in Urban and Rural Areas, Northern Thailand

Duanpen Sirithian et al.

Summary: Meteorological parameters have a significant correlation with PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in urban and rural areas of northern Thailand. Temperature and relative humidity are positively correlated with the concentrations, while wind speed has no effect. The study also reveals the influence of air masses from the southwest on the concentrations.

Analyzing Characteristics of Particulate Matter Pollution in Open-Pit Coal Mines: Implications for Green Mining

Huaiting Luo et al.

Summary: This study focused on the particulate pollution in open-pit coal mines in China during winter, specifically analyzing the PM concentration variations and their relationship with meteorological factors. The results highlighted the impact of humidity, temperature, wind speed, and temperature difference on PM concentrations, with PM2.5 showing greater sensitivity to environmental factors. These findings are valuable for advancing green mining practices.
