Short-term exposure to fine particulate matter and asthma exacerbation: a large population-based case-crossover study in Southern Thailand
This study underscores the short-term effects of PM<sub>2.5</sub> on asthma exacerbations, particularly during high-pollution episodes of transboundary haze in regions that generally experience low levels of air pollution. These findings emphasize the importance of achieving the WHO air quality targets to mitigate the health impacts from PM<sub>2.5</sub>.
