Association between short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and mortality or morbidity varies geographically, this variation could be due different chemical composition affected by local sources. However, there have been only a few Asian studies possibly limited monitoring data. Using nationwide regulatory data of PM2.5 components in South Korea, we aimed compare the associations daily across six major cities. We obtained 24-h concentrations 11 measured from 2013 2015 at...
Background: South Korea's Act on Registration and Evaluation, etc. of Chemicals (known as K-REACH) was established to protect public health the environment from hazardous chemicals.4,4'-Methylenedianiline (MDA), which is used a major intermediate in industrial polymer production vulcanizing agent Korea, classified toxic substance under K-REACH act.Although MDA poses potential ecological risks due emissions hazards aquatic ecosystems, no risk assessment has been conducted. Objectives:The aim...
Background/AimRecent epidemiological studies suggested that the association between short-term exposure to fine particle matter(PM2.5) and mortality was possibly due with some chemical components of PM2.5. However, few Asian focused on particularly in multiple metropolitan cities large population high levels PM2.5..MethodsWe obtained daily 24-hour concentrations PM2.5 mass species measured every day or third for 2011-2015 at single monitoring sites located residential areas six major South...
