Background Although epidemiological studies have reported associations between mortality
and both ambient air pollution and air temperature, it remains uncertain whether the …

The aim of this study was to review and synthesize the existing knowledge of the effects of
ultrafine particles [UFPs] with a specific focus on children's health. An extensive literature …

Ultrafine particles (UFP) are suspected of having significant impacts on health. However,
there have only been a limited number of studies on sources of UFP compared to larger …

The severity of inhalable particulate matter (PM) pollution in the atmosphere is increasing;
however, plants can effectively reduce the concentration of atmospheric PM by retaining it …

Infiltration of outdoor-sourced particles into indoor environments in 39 schools in Barcelona
was assessed during school hours. Tracers of road traffic emissions (NO 2, Equivalent Black …

Aim There is growing interest in the health effects following exposure to ambient particles
with a diameter< 100 nm defined as ultrafine particles (UFPs), although studies so far have …

Ultrafine particles (UFP; particulate matter< 0.1 μm in diameter) may be more harmful to
human health than larger particles, but epidemiological evidence on their health effects is …

Background: Although epidemiologic studies have shown associations between particle
mass and daily mortality, evidence on other particle metrics is weak. Objectives: We …

Introduction Numerous studies have shown associations between daily concentrations of
fine particles (eg, particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 2.5 µm; PM 2.5) and …

Background The evidence on the association between ultrafine (UFP) particles and mortality
is still inconsistent. Moreover, health effects of specific UFP sources have not been explored …
