Atmospheric nanoparticles can be formed either via nucleation in atmosphere or be directly
emitted to the atmosphere. In urban areas, several combustion sources (engines, biomass …

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that every year around two million people
die annually due to the effects of atmospheric pollution (Tranfield & Walker, 2012). These …

Nanoparticle emissions from transport are of considerable importance because of their
dominance in terms of particle number concentration in most urban atmospheres …

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 …

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

According to the World Health Organization, both indoor and urban air pollution are
responsible for the deaths of around 3.5 million people annually. During the last few …

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 …

In densely populated areas, traffic is a significant source of atmospheric aerosol particles.
Owing to their small size and complicated chemical and physical characteristics …

Nanoparticles (NPs) are receiving an increasing attention from many scientific communities
due to their strong influence on human health. NPs are an important marker of air pollution …

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 …
