A PM2.5 magnitude–rank index for summarizing annual concentration–frequency structure

Within-Year PM2.5 Exposure Structure Provides Mortality-Predictive Information Beyond the Annual Mean

Long-term PM2.5 exposure is associated with increased mortality and is usually represented by annual mean concentration, which does not capture how concentrations are distributed across days. We tested whether the prespecified PM2.5 magnitude-rank index (PMRI), a summary of within-year daily concentration structure, im...

Spatiotemporal Variation of PM2.5 Concentration and Health Impacts in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Trends and Patterns

The spatiotemporal variability of fine particulate matter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and its associated health risks and economic burden are investigated to support targeted policies aimed at reducing PM2.5 related cancers.

Spatiotemporal variability, trends, and health risk assessment of ambient PM2.5 and PM10 in Bangladesh during 2018–2025

TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL PATTERNS OF PM2.5 IN

Modelling the spatial dependence of extreme PM2.5 events in Bengaluru using max-stable processes

Urban air quality risk assessments typically treat monitoring stations as independent, systematically underestimating the probability that multiple locations simultaneously experience dangerous pollution levels. This study develops a spatial extreme value framework to quantify the joint tail dependence of fine particul...

Driving Factors of Monthly PM2.5 Concentrations in Shanghai (2020–2024): Panel Data Estimation

Ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) continues to pose serious risks to public health, yet the interaction between weather conditions and human-induced emissions in coastal megacities has not been fully captured by existing studies. To fill this gap, the present work develops an integrated econometric framework for...
