Fine particles emitted from vehicles have adverse health effects because of their sizes and
chemical compositions. Therefore, this study attempted to characterize the metals in nano …

Trace elements and metals in the ultrafine (< 0.18 μm) and accumulation (0.18–2.5 μm)
particulate matter (PM) modes were measured during the winter season, next to a busy …

Nanoparticles (NPs) resulting from urban road dust resuspension are an understudied class
of pollutants in urban environments with strong potential for health hazards. The objective of …

Airborne particulate matter poses a serious threat to human health. Exposure to nanosized
(< 0.1 μm), vehicle-derived particulates may be hazardous due to their bioreactivity, their …

Human exposure to ambient metallic nanoparticles is an area of great interest owing to their
potential health impacts. Ambient metallic nanoparticles found in the roadside environment …

In this study, inorganic geochemical characterization of the thoracic (or< 10 μm) fraction of
road dust in Barranquilla (a major industrial city in the Caribbean region) was conducted …

The wear of car brakes is one of the main sources of airborne particulate matter in urban
environments. Ultrafine wear particles are of special environmental interest since they can …

Fine particulate matters less than 2.5 µm (PM2. 5) in the ambient atmosphere are strongly
associated with adverse health effects. However, it is unlikely that all fine particles are …

We investigated the physical and chemical properties of non-exhaust coarse and fine
particles generated by on-road driving and in a laboratory setting using a mobile sampling …

Trace elements, especially those associated with fine particles in airborne particulate matter
(PM), may play an important role in PM adverse health effect. The aim of this paper is to …
