On one hand, long-term health impacts of fine air particles have to be closely probed through both epidemiological and laboratory studies, and the toxic effects owing to the interactions between particles and associated chemical pollutants should be differentially teased out. Although significant achievements have been reached due to the efforts in improving air quality in recent decades, there still exist many hurdles with respect to health issues to be addressed, e.g., geographical differences in pathophysiological responses to air pollution, insufficient long-term epidemiological data, uncertainty on the divergent toxicities due to the complicated interactions among versatile environmental factors from different sources, and previously neglected or underestimated adverse effects. ./cache/cord-282346-y5zm7z3y.txt ./txt/cord-282346-y5zm7z3y.txt
