Why the study?

Evaluating fine particulate matter (PM2.5) health effects within single-exposure frameworks limits causal inference and reduces the translational relevance of evidence for policy development.

Design

Review

Key result

Reconceptualizing PM2.5 within the exposome framework highlights the limitations of single-exposure assessments and supports integrative approaches for evaluating cumulative health risks.

Overview

Integrating PM2.5 into exposome models may improve causal inference; leaves open translation to clinical or policy recommendations.

PICO

Population
PM2.5 exposure and cumulative health risk
E
Exposure / Comparator
Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5)

Positioning PM2.5 as a sentinel indicator of cumulative environmental risk provides a unifying framework for exposome-informed science and supports the development of more precise, equitable, and policy-relevant interventions.

Cite This Study

Sangkham et al. (2026) conducted a review in PM2.5 exposure and cumulative health risk. Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) was evaluated. Reconceptualizing PM2.5 within the exposome framework highlights the limitations of single-exposure assessments and supports integrative approaches for evaluating cumulative health risks.
