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 …

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 …

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

The aims of this work are to provide a detailed physicochemical assessment of atmospheric
particles collected in the vicinity of three iron and steelmaking plants and to indicate the …

Particulate matter pollution in the subway station's atmosphere can seriously influence the
air quality and impacts on the health of subway workers and commuters. In this study, PM …

Particles in the nanoscale range have intrinsic physicochemical characteristics that define
their interaction with the human body and ultimately their toxicity. Whilst research has …

Atmospheric iron aerosol is a bioavailable essential nutrient playing a role in oceanic
productivity. Using aerosol time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ATOFMS), the particle size (0.3 …

Road dust is an important source of resuspended particulate matter (PM) but information is
lacking on the chemical composition of the ultrafine particle fraction (UFP;< 0.1 µm). This …

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 …

This study assessed the personal exposure of cyclists and Underground train users in
London to particulate matter below 5 μm in diameter (PM5) and provides evidence of the …
