Thousands of microscopic plastics in the air of homes, offices and cars may be endangering our health, according to a new ...

The study calculates that bringing global air pollution down to the WHO's target levels by 2050 would cut global antibiotic resistance by 16.8% and avoid nearly one in four premature deaths ...

New data suggest a connection between antibiotic resistance and particulate pollution the air we breathe. AYESHA RASCOE, HOST: Antibiotic-resistant infections are on the rise across the world.

The study found antibiotic resistance increases with a rise of a deadly form of pollution called particulate matter, otherwise known as PM2.5 — fine particles that measure 2.5 micrometers and ...

They found that antibiotic resistance increased with PM2.5. Every 1% rise in air pollution was linked with increases in antibiotic resistance of between 0.5% and 1.9%, depending on the pathogen.

Generally, the higher the MERV rating, the more particles a filter will capture, so filters with a MERV 10 rating or lower may only capture common particles like dust, pollen, and lint.

July Fourth is one of the worst days of the year for air quality in the region, said Daniel B. Curtis, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Cal State Fullerton.

Designed during the COVID-19 pandemic, a DIY air purifier known as a Corsi-Rosenthal box is becoming popular for its efficacy and inexpensive cost.
