Open AccessLong-term exposure to ambient PM2.5, particulate constituents and hospital admissions from non-respiratory infection
The association between PM2.5 and non-respiratory infections is unclear. Using data from Medicare beneficiaries and high-resolution datasets of PM2.5 and its constituents across 39,296 ZIP codes in the U.S bet...

Open AccessModification of the PM2.5- and extreme heat-mortality relationships by historical redlining: a case-crossover study in thirteen U.S. states
Redlining has been associated with worse health outcomes and various environmental disparities, separately, but little is known of the interaction between these two factors, if any. We aimed to estimate whethe...

Open AccessLong-term exposure to ambient fine particulate components and leukocyte epigenome-wide DNA Methylation in older men: the Normative Aging Study
Epigenome-wide association studies of ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) have been reported. However, few have examined PM2.5 components (PMCs) and sources or included repeated measures. The lack of high-res...

Open AccessAssociations between long-term exposures to airborne PM2.5 components and mortality in Massachusetts: mixture analysis exploration
Numerous studies have documented PM2.5’s links with adverse health outcomes. Comparatively fewer studies have evaluated specific PM2.5 components. The lack of exposure measurements and high correlation among diff...

Open AccessShort term exposure to air pollution and mortality in the US: a double negative control analysis
Studies examining the association of short-term air pollution exposure and daily deaths have typically been limited to cities and used citywide average exposures, with few using causal models.

Exposure to unconventional oil and gas development and all-cause mortality in Medicare beneficiaries
Little is known about whether exposure to unconventional oil and gas development is associated with higher mortality risks in the elderly and whether related air pollutants are exposure pathways. We studied a ...

Open AccessEmulating causal dose-response relations between air pollutants and mortality in the Medicare population
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are major air pollutants that pose considerable threats to human health. However, what has been mostly missing in air pollution epidemiology...

Open AccessAssessing additive effects of air pollutants on mortality rate in Massachusetts
We previously found additive effects of long- and short-term exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on all-cause mortality rate using a generalized propensity score (...

Open AccessA global perspective on coal-fired power plants and burden of lung cancer
Exposure to ambient particulate matter generated from coal-fired power plants induces long-term health consequences. However, epidemiologic studies have not yet focused on attributing these health burdens spec...

Open AccessOutput of an ultrasonic wave-driven nanogenerator in a confined tube
The output of an ultrasonic wave-driven nanogenerator (NG) has been found to depend on the excitation conditions and geometry. Incidence angle tests indicate that the effective area of an NG determines the amo...
