Abstract:
|
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the ambient air is associated with various health effects. There is increasing evidence which implicates the central role played by specific chemical components such as heavy metals of PM2.5. Given the fact that humans are exposed to complex mixtures of environmental pollutants such as PM2.5, research efforts are intensifying to study the mixtures composition and the emission sources of ambient PM, and the exposure-related health effects. Factor analysis (FA) as well source apportionment (SA) models are statistical tools potentially useful for characterizing mixtures in PM2.5. A novel approach based on the extension of FA and SA models is being proposed.
