GH13B:
Airborne Particulate Matter: Linking Sources and Composition to Specific Health Effects II Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 57650

Session Description:
Airborne fine Particulate Matter (PM) from anthropogenic, biogenic and geogenic sources have been strongly associated with negative health impacts. Understanding the complex interplay between chemical composition of gas phase and PM, atmospheric processes and biological effects is crucial for designing effective mitigation strategies and predictive models. In this multidisciplinary GeoHealth session, we invite the researchers working in atmospheric sciences, aerosol physics and chemistry as well as aerosol toxicology, biochemistry and health effect induction to contribute to the discussion on PM health impacts. Topics include but are not limited to: atmospheric sources and processes that affect PM toxicity; in vitro and in vivo studies that elucidate links between PM composition and structure with specific health effects; mechanisms that lead to PM toxicity, including oxidative stress and inflammation; novel biological tools used in the laboratory or field to understand PM toxicity as well as novel measuring technologies for health relevant aerosol properties.
