Objectives: We evaluated the effect of Saharan dust on the association between different PM fractions and daily mortality in Rome, Italy.

Background: Outbreaks of Saharan-Sahel dust over Euro-Mediterranean areas frequently induce exceedances of the Europen Union's 24-hr standard of 50 mu g/m(3) for particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter <= than 10 mu m (PM10).

Abstract

Background: Outbreaks of Saharan-Sahel dust over Euro-Mediterranean areas frequently induce exceedances of the Europen Union's 24-hr standard of 50 mu g/m(3) for particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter <= than 10 mu m (PM10).
