Distance-dependent and nonlinear PM2.5 exposure responses to precursor-specific emission controls across Northeast Asia
Despite extensive emission control efforts, PM 2.5 concentrations in Northeast Asia remain well above national standards and World Health Organization guidelines, posing persistent public health challenges. This study aims to identify the precursors and source regions that effectively reduce both PM 2.5 concentrations and population exposure across Northeast Asia. Using a comprehensive chemical transport model and 25 precursor-specific emission r…
Nationwide analysis of demographic and socioeconomic inequities in air pollution exposure in Korea, 2006–2019
Background Air pollution is a significant global health challenge, yet few studies have examined how the effects of exposure to environmental pollutants vary across demographic and socioeconomic groups. This study aims to investigate the distribution of air pollutants by demographics and socioeconomic status (SES), accounting for individual monthly residential mobility. Methods Individual annual exposures were estimated by linking monthly residen…
Ambient fine particulate matter and mortality risk among people with disability in Korea based on the National Health Insurance database
This study highlights the increased vulnerability of PWD, especially those with severe disabilities or specific impairments, to the adverse effects of PM 2.5 exposure. Targeted interventions tailored to disability type and severity, along with stricter air quality standards and specialized healthcare approaches, are needed
Multi-model intercomparisons of air quality simulations for the Korus-AQ campaign
The Korea-United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) field study was conducted during May–June 2016 to understand the factors controlling air quality in South Korea. Extensive aircraft and ground network observations from the campaign offer an opportunity to address issues in current air quality models and reduce model-observation disagreements. This study examines these issues using model evaluation against the KORUS-AQ observations and intercompariso…
Is Short-Term Exposure to PM2.5 Relevant to Childhood Kawasaki Disease
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile vascular disease of unknown cause that affects the whole body. KD typically occurs in infants under the age of five and is found mainly in East Asian countries. Few studies have reported on the relationship between the pollutant PM 2.5 and KD, and the evidence remains irrelevant or insufficient. Objectives: We investigated the relationship between short-term exposure to PM 2.5 and KD hospitali…
