EPA NYU PM Center: Health Risks of PM Components

New York University

The overall objective of this Center is to develop and conduct a comprehensive research program focused on the identification and characterization of the physical and chemical properties of particulate matter (PM) that adversely impact human health. The focal hypothesis of this PM Center is that specific chemical species within PM and within certain particle size ranges are primarily responsible for PM's mortality, morbidity, and functional effects.
