The likely health and environmental implications associated with atmospheric nanoparticles
have prompted considerable recent research activity. Knowledge of the characteristics of …

Nanoparticles are a class of materials with properties distinctively different from their bulk
and molecular counterparts. A critical review of the very broad topic of environmental …

Nanoparticles emitted from road traffic are the largest source of respiratory exposure for the
general public living in urban areas. It has been suggested that adverse health effects of …

Whilst limited information on particle size distributions and number concentrations in cities is
available, very few data on the very smallest of particles, nanoparticles, have been recorded …

Particles have been a recognized ingredient in polluted air for decades if not centuries.
Despite the fact that their atmospheric concentrations have decreased substantially in …

Currently, there are no air quality regulations in force in any part of the world to control
number concentrations of airborne atmospheric nanoparticles (ANPs). This is partly due to a …

The most continuous and intimate contact the average person has with nanoparticles is
almost surely through the air, which is replete with them. Nanoparticles are being generated …

Abstract Knowledge of the human health impacts associated with airborne nanoparticle
exposure has led to considerable research activity aimed at better characterising these …

The aim of this work was to review the existing instrumental methods to monitor airborne
nanoparticles in different types of indoor and outdoor environments in order to detect their …

Atmospheric nanoparticles are of growing interest to many investigators for two main
reasons. First, nanoparticles are important precursors for the formation of larger particles …
