Background: Ultrafine particles (UFP) are unregulated air pollutants abundant in aviation
exhaust. Emerging evidence suggests that UFPs may impact lung health due to their high …

8532 Background: Health effects associated with particles less than 2.5 μm in diameter
(PM2. 5) have been well studied, leading to the establishment of air quality standards and …

Background Recent studies reported elevated concentrations of ultrafine particles (UFP)
near airports. Little is known about the health effects of UFP from aviation. Since UFP can …

Background Exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP, particles with aerodynamic diameter< 100
nm) is associated with reduced lung function and airway inflammation in individuals with …

Background Little is known about the long-term health effects of ambient ultrafine particles (<
0.1 μm)(UFPs) including their association with respiratory disease incidence. In this study …

Rationale: Particulate matter⩽ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2. 5) is an established
cause of lung cancer, but the association with ultrafine particulate matter (UFP; aerodynamic …

Ultrafine particles (UFP; diameter less than or equal to 100 nm) may reach the brain via
systemic circulation or the olfactory tract and have been implicated in the risk of brain …

BACKGROUND: While commercial aircraft are known sources of ultrafine particulate matter
(UFP), the relationship between airport activity and local real-time UFP concentrations has …

Rationale: pulmonary function and increased airway inflammation in asthmatics. A recent
study showed that UFP number concentrations in a large area downwind of the Los Angeles …

It has been hypothesized that ultrafine particles (UFP) in air pollution may cause lung
cancer. In preparation for an epidemiologic case-control study to assess this hypothesis in …
