Long-term (2001–2012) concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and the impact on human health in Beijing, China
Beijing, the capital of China, is a densely populated city with poor air quality. The impact of high pollutant concentrations, in particular of aerosol particles, on human health is of major concern. The present study uses aerosol optical depth (AOD) as proxy to estimate long-term PM2.5 and subseque...
